External Hard Drive Addendum

Recording Future Programs

You can override a specific timer's priority with a one-time skip or by restoring it. Select a timer in the Daily Schedule, then you'll have an option to Skip or Restore for that timer (see page 14).

Timer Options

The Timer Options screen lets you set the following (not used on all options screens):

Protect Event—Prevents your programs from being erased when your external hard drive fills up.

Set Resolution—Set the timer to record only HD or SD programs.

Note: When setting DishPASS timers for programs available in both HD and SD, by default, the receiver automatically selects the HD program for recording.

Set Frequency—Select this option if you want to record only new episodes of a program. By default, all episodes of a DishPASS event will be recorded.

Set Channel—Select a specific channel. When setting manual timers, you select a channel from a scrolling list of all channels in your guide.

Start Early—Select this option if you want to begin recording a few minutes early.

End Late—Select this option if you want to continue recording after the scheduled program ending time.

Set as System Default—Select this option if you want to use the Start Early and End Late settings for this event as the new defaults for future timers.

Maximum Recorded Events—Select this option if you want to automatically delete the oldest unprotected recordings after a specified number are accumulated for this particular timer. This option is particularly valuable for certain DishPASS timers, which might otherwise fill up your external hard drive with too many episodes of a program.
