Setting Up a DishPASS Timer

DishPASS lets you create timers to record programs automatically based on your search criteria. When the receiver finds programs that meet your search criteria, it automatically sets a timer to record that program. As the program guide is updated, DishPASS will continue to find and record based upon your search criteria. Note that DishPASS only finds programs on satellite channels.

An example of how to use DishPASS may be that you saw a movie in the theaters and you want to watch it again as soon as it comes out on a movie channel. Use the Exact Match and Title options, and then type the exact title of the movie. If the movie is made available on a movie channel you subscribe to, the receiver will automatically set a timer to record that movie for you.

1.Press the MENU button and select Daily Schedule.

2.Select the DishPASS option.

3.Select the Search Method:

•Title - Search for programs by their title.
