Recording Future Programs
Tips•Make sure the Updates feature is enabled as described in your receiver’s User Guide.
By enabling this feature, the Program Guide has the most up-to-date information and
can adjust or create timers accordingly.
•Weekly, Daily, and Monday-Friday timers move only if the program is within one hour
earlier or four hours later than the original time the timer was set up. These timers
adjust their length if their program's time block is extended.
•DishPASS recordings may fill the hard drive quickly. If you have other timers you know
you don't want to be recorded over, choose Protect on those important programs.
•DVR timers set for sporting events automatically end late by 60 minutes to allow for
overtime. Change this setting in Options when you set up the timer.
Questions• Why is my receiver recording programs I didn’t schedule? A DishPASS Timer
may include more programs than you planned. If you’d like to refine your search,
delete the DishPASS Timer and start again as described on page 16.
• Why did the receiver delete a program I recorded? Your recording was
unprotected. When the receiver’s hard drive fills, it deletes the oldest unprotected
recording. You can protect your recordings as described on page11.
• Where can I go to find out why the receiver didn’t record something I
scheduled? Look at your Daily Schedule and refer to Reasons Why Timers are
Skipped on page 12.
