Timers and Recordings
Reasons Why Timers are Skipped
If a timer is skipped, the reason is stated on the Timers List.
• Priority—This timer had a lower priority than other events being recorded at the time.
• User—A user chose to skip that timer.
• Duplicate event—There is already another timer which is set to record that program.
• Event exists in DVR—The program was already recorded and can be found now in
the My Recordings list.
• Not a new episode—Used for New Episode timers. A New Episode is one that has
the word New or the current year listed in the associated Program Guide information.
• Incorrect event—For Weekly, Daily, and Monday-Friday timers. If the guide has a
different event listed, then the timer will be skipped. For example, the event timer was
set up as a Daily timer on a Saturday, but the specified program is broadcast only
weekdays, so the timer will be skipped on the weekends.
When a Timer Needs Your Tuner to Record
If the three TV tuners of the Hopper are needed for scheduled recordings while you are
watching live TV, then you will see a pop-up message screen.
Choose Allow and the timer will change the channel and record the program. Choose
Stop and the timer will skip recording the scheduled event. Note that stopping one event
recording does not delete a series timer, so future episodes will continue to be recorded.
When the Receiver is Off
If the receiver is off when a scheduled type of event timer occurs, the receiver will:
• DVR—Remain powered off (in standby mode), but will record the scheduled event.
• Auto Tune—Turn on at the scheduled time and for the event duration. After a period
of time, if you do nothing, the receiver will turn off (enter standby mode) again.
