Getting a Season Pass
A Season Pass records every episode of a series that airs on a certain channel—even if the
day or time slot changes! It is totally automatic and really easy to set up. Just select a
program (from the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide
™
, for example) and choose “Get
a Season Pass.” Season Pass recordings have the following characteristics:
•
No duplicates within 28 days.
If you watch or delete a particular episode or showing,
it will not be recorded automatically again for 28 days. This prevents the Now Playing
List from filling up with shows you probably don’t want. If you want to record
duplicates, select the program on the Season Pass screen, then choose “Change
recording options,” highlight “Show Type options,” and select “All (with duplicates).”
•
Parental Controls.
If Parental Controls are on when you schedule a Season Pass, the
DVR checks its current program information to see if any upcoming program violates
a Parental Control. If a program does, the DVR requires the current password to
continue. See page 90.
•
Keep at Most=5.
By default, five episodes of the program are kept in the Now Playing
List. You can change this setting. See page 60.
•
Resolving conflicts.
The DVR service resolves scheduling conflicts by comparing
recording priorities. You can change priorities using the Season Pass Manager. See
page 60.
Repeating Recordings
. In addition to being characteristics of the Season Pass, the above
also apply to two other types of recordings that repeat automatically:
• A
manual repeat recording
records on a specific channel at a specific time (much like
the recordings you would set up with a VCR). See page 72.
• An
auto-recording WishList
records all the programs a WishList finds. See page 78.
If some Season Pass programs are
not recording, you may need to
change their priority with the Season
Pass Manager. See page 60.
An exception to the 28-day, no-
duplicates feature may occur if the
program wasn’t watched but was deleted
from the Now Playing List to make room
for another recording you requested.
Another reason a duplicate recording
might be made is if the program
information describes the program
incorrectly.
