Recording Future Programs
Daily Schedule
The Daily Schedule lists the timers that are planned for today, the future (up to nine days),
and those that occurred in the recent past. Use the Daily Schedule as described on
page 14 to:
•Review today's timers. You can choose to skip a scheduled timer, or restore a timer
that was not planned to occur, perhaps because of a conflict with another program.
See Timer Priorities on page 10.
•Review future timers, up to nine days in advance, and make changes as necessary.
•Review past timers to see which occurred, and the reason why one did not, if
applicable. See Reasons Why Timers are Skipped on page12.
Reasons Why Timers are Skipped
If a timer is skipped, the reason is stated on the Timers List.
•Priority—This timer had a lower priority than other events being recorded at the time.
•User—A user chose to skip that timer.
• Duplicate event—There is already another timer set to record that program.
• Event exists in DVR—The program was already recorded and can be seen in the
Daily Schedule list.
• Not a new episode—Used for New Episode timers. Currently, a New Episode is one
that has the current year listed in the Program Guide information.
• Incorrect event—For Weekly, Daily, and Monday-Friday timers. If the guide has a
different event listed the timer is skipped. For example, the timer was set up on a
Saturday for Daily, but the program is broadcast only Monday-Friday, so the timer is
skipped on the weekends.
When a Timer Starts a Recording
For two minutes before a timer starts a recording, the receiver may display a digital
countdown on the TV screen. This symbol disappears when the program begins. While
the symbol is displayed, you can do one of the following:
•Press CANCEL to clear the symbol from the TV screen. This does not stop the timer
from starting.
•Press INFO or SELECT to see more information on the timer. If you do this, you have
the following choices:
—Select OK to continue with the timer.
—Select Stop Timer to stop the timer.
Note: Pressing INFO about a timer event only works one time.
Subsequently pressing INFO results in the current program’s information being
displayed in the normal way.
