Auto and On-Demand Record at the Same Time
If you record a live program using the on-demand option, you can use auto
recording to pause, go back to play, reverse, skip back through, fast forward,
or skip ahead through the same program at the same time.

Whenever you turn the receiver on, it's auto recording.
With auto record, you can record up to about an hour of a program. This
total recording time applies to auto recording only.
The receiver needs more room to record programs with more action. So,
the total recording time isn't exact.
After about an hour, the receiver starts to record over its oldest audio
and video to have room for new audio and video.
If one program ends and the next one starts on the same channel, the
receiver continues to record the next program.
If you change the channel, you erase the recorded audio and video, and
start recording the new channel.
On-demand recording works only when you set it up.
The receiver must have enough room to record:
• When you make a one-time DishDVR recording, you can set the
receiver to ask you before it records over what you record. This is
how you "protect" a recorded event.
• If the receiver needs room to record a new event, it'll record over
the oldest "unprotected" recorded event(s) to make room.
• If the receiver is out of room, and you don't let it record over any
old recorded events, it won't be able to record a new event.
• To free up space on the receiver, you can erase events by opening
the
Events Information
menu and selecting the
Erase
option.
