Pay Per View Programs and Locked Programs

Tip: You must buy a Pay Per View event before you can set an automatic event timer for it. And you cannot set a manual event timer for any Pay Per View event.

•You must buy a pay per view program before you can set an automatic event timer for it. You can’t set a manual event timer for a pay per view program. You can’t edit an event timer for a pay per view program.

•When you’ve locked the receiver, you must enter the password before you can set an automatic event timer for a locked program. You can set a manual event timer for a locked program and not enter the password. If you do set a timer like this, when the timer works the receiver may display only an error message or a password entry menu. If you’ve set a DVR Event Timer or a VCR Event Timer, the recording will show only the error message or password menu.

•If you use a DVR Event Timer to record a locked program, you must enter the password to play back the program. If you record a block of two or more programs and just one of them is locked, you must enter the password to play back any of them. For example, if you set an event timer to record a block of three programs and one of them is an adult movie, you must enter the password to watch any of the three programs.

Power Off and Event Timers

•If the receiver is off when a DVR Event Timer, Auto-Tune Event Timer, or VCR Event Timer works, the receiver will turn on. When the program ends, the receiver will turn off unless you press any remote control or front panel buttons while the timer is in operation.

•If the receiver is off when a Reminder Event Timer starts, the receiver will turn on and stay on.

How Many Event Timers You Can Set

You can set a limited number of event timers. If you try to set more, the receiver displays a menu where you can delete an existing timer. If you don’t delete an existing timer, you won’t be able to set any new ones.

Control a VCR

Note: Remember, you can use the DishDVR features to record a program without a VCR!

•To use VCR Event Timers, you must connect the receiver’s back panel audio/video outputs to the audio/video inputs on the VCR. See page 29 for the recommended connection to a VCR.
