SETTING UP A DISH PASS™ TIMER

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

An example of how to use DISH Pass 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, 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.

1Press MENU and select Daily Schedule (7) to open the Daily Schedule.

2Select DISH Pass.

3Select the Search Method:

•Title - Search for programs by title.

•Info - Search for programs whose descriptions or titles contain key words.

4Optionally, select Exact Match if you want to find exactly what you’ve entered in either the program title or info, when you select the Title or Info, respectively.

5Enter your search criteria. You can use the keyboard shown on the screen or you can use the letters above the NUMBER PAD buttons on the remote control while the highlight is in the Enter Search Criteria field. See Using Text Fields on page 24 for instructions.

6Select Options as described on page 63.

7Select Create Timer. When the receiver has completed your search, the Timer Schedule will display the results.

Note: After entering your search words, and selecting Create Timer, be sure to review the timers that DISH Pass creates—some may not be what you are expecting. You can:
