Stop Recording Manually – The receiver will record until you press
Extend End Time – You can extend the stop time for the recording . This option is useful for programs that might run overtime such as
sporting events or awards shows .
Create a Recurring Timer
– You can set up multiple daily, weekly or monthly timers so your favourite shows are always automatically recorded
Record the Entire Event – The receiver stops recording at the end of the event . This selection is available only if the receiver was tuned to
the channel at the beginning of the program . If you tune to a program after it starts, this option cannot be selected . You can record only the
part of the program that airs after you've tuned to it .

the program begins . While the countdown is displayed you can do one of the following:

Quick tip
PVR timers set for sporting events automatically end late by 60 minutes to allow for overtime, so you'll never miss a
moment of the action. If you prefer, you can change this setting in options when you set up the timer . If you have another
timer scheduled during the extension, it will be overridden.
