Special Considerations When Using Timers
•
For Locked Programs—You must enter the receiver password before you can create
an automatic timer. You can create a manual timer for a locked program without
entering the password. However if you do this, when the timer starts, the receiver may
display only an error or password-entry menu screen.
•
For Pay-Per-View Programs—You must order a Pay-Per-View program or event
when you create an event timer for it.
•
For Blacked Out Programs—If you set a timer for a program or event that is blacked
out in your area, then when the timer occurs, the receiver may only display an error.

Use the ARROWS to select a future program if you want to Skip or Restore a timer. You
can also choose to Protect it, or view the start early/end late settings.
•
To change the start early/end late setting, select the event within the Timers List.
•
If the program is included in a DishPASS timer, you cannot change the start early or
end late times on an individual occurrence; it must be changed within the DishPASS
timer, selected from the full event Timers List.
•
Press PAGE UP to see the previous days' timers. Review these timers if you want to
see the result of these timers (for example, if a timer recorded successfully or why it
might have been skipped).
