•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.

If some Season Pass programs are not recording, you may need to
change their priority with the Season Pass Manager. See page 60.

might be made is if the program |

information describes the program |

incorrectly. |
