Dish Network Solo 811 Setting Up an Automatic Event Timer, Setting Up a Manual Event Timer

Chapter 3

Using the System

Tip: You may start any timer one minute early. But if you set back-to- back event timers and the second one starts early, the first one will end early. An event timer cannot start early for a Pay-Per-View program. If you try to set a timer for overlapping events, you will get an error message.

Tip: Use the Program Guide or your printed television guide to see when the program(s) starts and stops — before you go to the Set Date/TIme for a Manual Timer.
