Use Event Timers

4.Select a Timer Type option. A check mark shows up next to the option you select. For example, here we selected the DVR option.

8.Select the Set Date/Time option.

This opens the Set Date/Time for Manual Timer menu.

9.Use the number buttons to enter the Start Time (make sure you select AM or PM) and the End Time, (make sure you select AM or PM). Note: The menu displays zeroes for you in numbers like “07”.

When Event Timers Overlap

If you try to set event timers for programs on at the same time and date, the receiver displays a conflict menu with the dates and times of both programs. To resolve the conflict, pick which timer to keep and which timer to delete.

Note: The receiver deletes one-time event timers right after they work. You must delete all other types of timers yourself.

Tip: You can use a Manual Event Timer to record a “block” of programs on the same channel, or to make sure you don’t miss the last few minutes of a sports event that goes into overtime.
