Timer Options
The Timer Options screen lets you set the following (not used on all options screens):
• Protect Event—to prevent your programs from being erased when the DVR fills up.
• Set Frequency—to record only new episodes of a program. By default, all episodes
of a Seek & Record event will be recorded.
• Set Channel—to select a specific channel. When setting manual timers, you select a
channel from a scrolling list of all channels in your guide.
• Start Early—to begin a timed recording a few minutes earlier than its scheduled start.
• End Late—to continue recording after the program's scheduled ending time.
• Save as Defaults—to use the Start Early, End Late, Maximum Events to Keep, and
Priority (highest/lowest) settings for this event as the new defaults for future timers.
• Maximum Events to Keep—to automatically delete the oldest unprotected
recordings after a specified number of them are accumulated for this particular timer.
Note: This option is especially valuable for certain Seek & Record™ timers, which
might otherwise fill your DVR storage with too many episodes of a single program.
Note: When setting Seek & Record™ timers for programs available in both HD and SD, by
default, the receiver will automatically select the HD program for recording.
Daily Schedule
The Daily Schedule lists the timers that are planned for today, the future (up to nine days,
if applicable to your satellite system), and have occurred in the recent past. Press the DVR
button three times and use the Daily Schedule, as shown on page 63, to:
• Review today's timers. You can choose to skip a scheduled timer, or restore a timer
that was not planned to occur, perhaps because of a conflict with another program.
See Timer Priorities on page 60.
• Review future timers, up to nine days in advance, and make changes as necessary.
• Review past timers to see which occurred, and the reason why one or more did not, if
applicable. See Reasons Why Timers are Skipped on page 62.
Timers List
Press the DVR button four times and use the Timers List, as shown on page 63, to:
• View the general list of all event timers.
• Select a timer from this list to see a detailed listing with specific dates and times of
upcoming timers for that program/event or Seek & Record™ search term(s).
• Set user-selected priorities for each event timer. See Timer Priorities on page 60.
• Select Edit Event to edit an individual occurrence of a recurring event timer or Edit
Timer to change all occurrences or delete the entire event timer.
