Timers and Personal Video Recorder ( PVR )

Timer frequency

Deciding how often you want to watch a program will help you set your timer appropriately:
All Episodes – Records each time that program is on a specific channel or group of channels
New Episodes – Records programs in their current season each time they occur on a specific channel or group of channels
Once – Records a program once . This feature works best for movies and sporting events .
Weekly – Records a program once a week, at that time, on a specific channel
Daily – Records a program once a day, at that time, on a specific channel
Mon-Fri – Records a program once a day, Monday through Friday, at that time, on a specific channel
You can also select a Vu! Pass, which sets a timer on all channels or on a specific channel based on your specific criteria .
When you set a timer for a program and the program time changes, the recording time will change with it . Weekly, Daily, and Mon-Fri
timers move only if the program is within 1 hour earlier or 4 hours later than the original time the timer was set up . These timers will adjust
their length if their program's scheduled time is extended .

Timer priorities

If multiple timers are scheduled to start at the same time, the receiver uses pre-set priorities to know which programs you'd prefer to
watch or record .
The receiver can only record the 2 programs with the highest priorities . You can override a specific timer's priority with a one-time skip
or by restoring it . Select a timer in the daily schedule and you'll have the option to skip or restore that timer (see page 41) .
