Possible Reason
You may have set up a timer with
an incorrect frequency.
• You may have several timers
set up for the same time and
the event timer you set is at a
lower priority than others.
• You may have selected New
Episodes and the timer you
set was for an episode that is
not new.
The DishPASS Timer may have
included more matching
programs than what you
expected.
Stopping the event timer applies
only to the current showing of the
program.
Editing an automatic event timer
converts it to a manual event
timer. Such a timer starts and
stops at the times you specify,
not the start and stop times of
any specific program.
You may have tried to set a
manual event timer with invalid
start or stop times.
The receiver may not be able to
display a program name for a
manual event timer.
The program may have started a
little earlier than scheduled, or it
may have run over its scheduled
ending time.
What to Do
Remember that a Once event timer
operates just one time. A Mon.-Fri.
event timer operates Monday through
Friday on the same channel at the same
time. A Daily event timer does the same,
Monday through Sunday. A Weekly
event timer operates once a week on
the same channel at the same time. All
Episodes timers will record all episodes
of that program, while New Episodes
timers will record only the current
season. A DishPASS timer records
programs matching your DishPASS
search term.
• Check the Priorities as described on
page 52.
• Check the Timer Frequency as
described on page 52.
Delete that DishPASS Timer and begin
again. See page 58.
To stop all operations of a repeated
event timer, you must delete the event
timer.
: The receiver deletes a Once
Note
event timer when it operates.
If you want an automatic event timer to
start and stop according to a specific
program, avoid editing that event timer.
Review the information on manual
event timers on page 57.
Use the Program Guide or a printed
schedule to find the program name.
• Use the Start 1 min. early option to
start any event timer one minute
early, except for a Pay-Per-View
event.
• Use a manual event timer to start any
event timer at the times you set
yourself, except for a Pay-Per-View
event.
