Setting a Timer for a Future Program
You can set up several types of timers to automatically remind you of programs to watch or
record. You can set up to eight reminder timers and eight VCR timers for future programs.
There are three available options for non-PPV channels:
• Tune to the current channel now.
• Set a Reminder Timer to display a message on your screen reminding you of the
selected program you want to watch just before it begins.
• Set a VCR Timer to tune your Explorer® Digital Home Communications Terminal
(DHCT) to a particular channel at the proper time to record the selected program.
For PPV channels, there is an additional option to purchase the PPV event.
