What's Wrong What You Can Do
• To make sure you can watch all of a program, on-demand record it instead
of auto recording it.
• If you want to be able to watch all of a program you're auto recording,
don't change the channel. You can only auto record for about one hour.
• To on-demand record a program, you must either press the remote control
RECORD button or set an Event Timer. If you set an Event Timer to
record the program, maybe the Event Timer was not set up right. See the
Event Timers table for help.
• Check the "time Left" on the DishDVR Recorded Events menu.
If you "protect" many recorded programs, the receiver may not have
enough room to record any new programs.
Use the DishDVR Recorded Events menu to "protect" an on-demand
recorded program. This means the receiver will ask you before it records over
that recorded program. But note, if you "protect" many recorded programs,
the receiver may not have enough room to record any new programs.
You can use only the options you see on the menu. You won't see all the
options at once. You'll never see a "Record" option; to record a program you
must either press the remote control RECORD button or set an Event Timer.
To record more than one program, or to record parts of one or more programs,
set a manual event timer.
