Timer Options
The Timer Options screen lets you set the following (not used on all options screens):
• Protect Event—to prevent your programs from being erased when the DVR fills up.
• Set Resolution—to set the timer to record only HD or only SD programs.
Note: When setting DishPASS timers for programs available in both HD and SD, by
default, the receiver will automatically select the HD program for recording.
• Set Frequency—to record only new episodes of a program. By default, all episodes
of a DishPASS event will be recorded.
• Set Channel—to select a specific channel. When setting manual timers, you select a
channel from a scrolling list of all channels in your guide.
• Start Early—to begin a timed recording a few minutes earlier than its scheduled start.
• End Late—to continue recording after the program's scheduled ending time.
• Set as System Default—to use the Start Early and End Late settings for this event as
the new defaults for future event timers.
• Maximum Recorded Events—to automatically delete the oldest unprotected
recordings after a specified number of them are accumulated for this particular timer.
Note: This option is especially valuable for certain DishPASS timers, which might
otherwise fill up your DVR storage with too many episodes of a single program.
Timers List

Daily Schedule
The Daily Schedule lists the timers that are planned for today, the future (up to nine days,
if applicable to your satellite system), and have occurred in the recent past. Use the Daily
Schedule as described on page 67 to:
• Review today's timers. You can choose to skip a scheduled timer, or restore a timer
that was not planned to occur, perhaps because of a conflict with another program.
See Timer Priorities on page 64.
• Review future timers, up to nine days in advance, and make changes as necessary.
• Review past timers to see which occurred, and the reason why one did not, if
applicable. See Reasons Why Timers are Skipped on page 66.
