Setting Up Timer Recordings
The Timers feature allows you to set up timer recordings if you have
connected the VCR Controller to your digital satellite receiver and told
the receiver what type of VCR you are using. See the "Setup and
Connections" section for details on connecting a VCR Controller.
Editing or Canceling a Timer
From the Timers screen, select the Timer you want to edit or cancel, and
then do the following:
• Use the arrows buttons to edit the Timer, then select Run Timer.
• Select Clear Timer to cancel the timer.
• To watch the program daily or weekly, edit that program's Timer.
Selecting View Channel or Buy Program will tune to the program's
channel without recording. The options available to you will vary
according to the type of program you select.
If you subscribe to Caller ID service, note
that the Caller ID banner will neither be
displayed or recorded during a timer
(watch or record). However, all calls will
be logged. The banner will display as
selected when the timer recording is over.
