Timers and Recordings

ECORDINGS
A timer is your instruction telling the satellite receiver the programs you want to view in the
future. For most Digital Video Recorder (DVR) timers, you select a specific program on a
specific channel, and tell the satellite receiver how often you want to record that program.
DVR recordings are listed in the My Recordings screen, which you can find quickly by
pressing DVR twice on the remote control.
Timer Types
There are four types of timers:
•
DVR
—records an event onto your receiver’s hard drive for later viewing.
•
Auto
—automatically changes the channel for live viewing of the event.
•
Ext
—automatically changes the channel for live viewing of the event and sends
commands to a compatible external device, such as the PocketDISH, which is
connected to your RCA-type or S-Video outputs. This option is not available unless
you enable the feature. See
Enabling Record Link
on page 52. This timer type allows
you to record to the external device, instead of recording to the receiver’s hard drive.
•
Reminder
—creates an on-screen reminder when the event is about to air.
Timer Frequency
Deciding how often you want to watch a program will help you make the best choice:
•
All Episodes
—records each time that program is on that channel.
•
New Episodes
—records current season programs each time they occur on that
channel.
•
Once
—records a program once (good for movies, sporting events, or other one-time
programs).
•
Weekly
—records a program once a week, at that time, on that channel.
•
Daily
—records a program once a day, at that time, on that channel.
•
Monday-Friday
—records a program once a day, Monday through Friday, at the
selected time, on that channel.
•
DishPASS
—records programs on all channels (default) or a specific channel, based
on your specific criteria. See page 59 for details.
Timer Priorities
Priorities are used by the receiver to know which program you would prefer to record, if
multiple timers are scheduled to start at the same time. This receiver can only record two
satellite programs at one time. If three programs are scheduled to record at the same time,
priorities tells the receiver which two programs to record.
•
All timers have a priority that you can change at any time.
•
The larger the number, the lower the priority (for example, priority 1 is higher than
priorities 2, 3, and 4).
