Chapter 4: Program reminders and recording timers

Scheduling program reminders and recording timers

There are two kinds of timers you can set to help you manage your TV viewing:

You can schedule a reminder to alert you when a program is about to begin.

You can schedule a timer that will automatically record a program on your VCR (on model SIR-S310W only).

To set your DIRECTV Receiver to remind you when a program is about to begin, or (on model SIR-S310W) to record a program for you on your VCR, follow these steps:

1Press the GUIDE button on your remote. The Guide appears.

Note: Timers are not available in the Logo Guide. If you are viewing the Logo Guide, use the red R button on your remote control, and select Grid Guide.

You can only set timers for future programs (not for programs that are currently under way).

2Highlight the program you wish to record or be reminded about, and press the button.

Pressing the button once sets a program reminder. Pressing it again will either remove the program reminder (on model SIR-S300W), or will set the program to be recorded on your VCR (on model SIR-S310W).

A clock icon is added to the program listing in the Guide when a program reminder is scheduled for a program.

A videotape icon replaces the clock icon when a recording timer has been scheduled for a program.
