Why does my DVR+ turn itself off?
The DVR+ receiver has a power-saving feature that allows you to program the DVR+ to go into
sleep mode after predetermined times of inactivity (4, 5, and 6 hours). If you don't want your DVR+
receiver to automatically go into sleep mode, you can disable this feature.
Note: When in sleep mode, scheduled recordings will still record as if the DVR+ receiver was
turned on.
Will cable TV work with my DVR+?
No—the DVR+ will work only with over-the-air broadcast signals.
Can I store other things on the DVR+, like my movies and pictures?
No—the DVR+ will store and view only your over-the-air broadcasts that you record.
How do I recover my 4-digit PIN when I forgot my password?
Use the master PIN of 2846 to unlock your DVR+ and access the main menu to reset your personal
PIN.
Does the DVR+ remote have a discrete on/off code?
Yes—two key codes are reserved for discrete power on/off:
• ON: 0x37
• OFF: 0x38
How can I keep my DVR+ up-to-date?
Software updates are not usually required to maintain normal operation of your DVR+, but they
ensure the best performance of your DVR+.
A DVR+ receiver with an active connection to the Internet
will periodically check for downloads automatically. If your DVR+ is not always connected to the Internet,
and access the Software Updates screen to see if a new update is available.
