Timer Recordings

The Timers feature allows you to preset your digital satellite receiver to automatically tune to a particular channel at a predetermined time.

To use the Timers feature, select Timers from the Main menu. Select a Timer (1–16) and then use the arrow buttons to complete the on-screen details. When the information is complete, select Continue.

Note: If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your telephone company, note that the Caller ID banner will neither be displayed nor recorded during a record timer. However, all calls will be logged. The banner will display as selected when the timer recording is over.

Setting Up a Timer

The Timers feature allows you to set up timer recordings if you have connected the VCR Controller to your digital satellite receiver and told the receiver what type of VCR you are using. See page 9 in the Setup and Connections section for details on connecting a VCR Controller.

Editing or Canceling a Timer

From the Timers screen, select the Timer you want to edit or cancel, and then do the following:

•Use the arrows buttons to edit the Timer, then select Continue.

•Select Clear Timer to cancel the timer.

•To watch the program daily or weekly, edit that program’s Timer.

Recording with a Timer

If you choose Record instead of Watch when setting a Timer (and have set up your VCR as previously discussed), the Timer will turn on your VCR, then start and stop recording a program.

To record with timers:

•Your VCR must be tuned to channel 3 or 4 (if the VCR is connected with just coaxial cables), or to the video input channel (if the VCR is connected with audio/video cables).

•You must turn your VCR off prior to the scheduled recording time.

•You must have a recordable tape in the VCR.

Schedule a Timer with the RECORD Button

You can schedule a recording directly from the guide.

1.With a program highlighted, press the RECORD button on the remote control. The Program Details screen appears.

2.To schedule a timer to record, select:

•Record Program to set a timer to record the program, or

•Buy and Record to purchase the program and set up a timer to record the program.

Note: Programs bought to be recorded may have a different purchase price than those bought for viewing only.
