Using Timers and Recordings
For example, having six programs scheduled to record at the same time cannot
be done on a dual-tuner receiver; therefore, the receiver will record only the two
programs with the highest priorities.
• All timers have a priority that you can change at any time.
• The larger the number, the lower priority (for example, priority 1 is
higher than priorities 2, 3, and 4).
• 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.
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 the
receiver fills up.
•Set Channel - Select a specific channel.
•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.
Note: DVR Timers set for sporting events automatically have a late end
time of 60 minutes to allow for overtime.
Timers List
The Timers List shows you all of the timers you have set up on your receiver.
Use the Timers List as described on page 73 to:
• View the general list of timers.
• If you select a timer from this list, you'll see a detailed list with specific
dates and times of upcoming timers for that program or DISH Pass
search term(s).
• Set user-selected priorities for each timer. See Timer Priorities in the
previous section.
