Notes on Using
the Timer
qAfter the timer is set, the TIMER indicator on the front panel lights
up, indicating that the timer has been set.
qTo use the timer to record a PPV program, you must first purchase
it in advance of its showing. See “Ordering Pay Per View
Programs” on page 28.
qUse the MON-FRI option only if you do not plan to EXIT during
your timer event. If you think you may want to EXIT during your
timer event, set each day of the week individually.
qIf locks and limits are set (and the system is locked), check to make
sure they do not conflict with the program you’re trying to record.
qAbout 60 seconds before the timer automatically tunes to the
specified channel, a message appears. To cancel the timer setting
and continue watching the current program, press the EXIT button.
qIf you set overlapping (conflicting) timer settings, the Digital
Satellite Receiver handles these timer settings as follows:
qIf you set two timer settings to start at the same time, the timer
setting that’s listed first has priority over any other conflicting
timer settings. Conflicting timer settings are automatically
cleared from the Timer Setup screen when the first timer
setting is activated.
qIf you set a second timer setting to start before the first timer
setting is set to stop, the second timer setting will start before
the first timer setting stops.
