Timer Options

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

Daily Schedule
The Daily Schedule lists the timers that are planned for today, the future (up to nine days),
and those that occurred in the recent past. Use the Daily Schedule as described on
page 65 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 62.
• 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 64.
