Special Considerations When Using Timers - Dish Network HDTV DVR Satellite Receiver User Manual

When a Timer Starts a Recording
For two minutes before an timer starts a recording, the receiver may
display a digital countdown (timer reminder) on the TV screen. This
countdown disappears when the program begins. While the
countdown is displayed, you can do one of the following options:
• Press CANCEL to clear the symbol from the TV screen. This does not stop the timer
from starting.
• Press INFO or SELECT to see more information on the timer. If you do this, you have
the following choices:
– Select OK to continue with the timer.
– Select Stop Timer to stop the timer.
Note: Pressing INFO on the timer reminder only works one time. Subsequently
pressing INFO results in the current program's information being displayed.
When the Receiver is Off
If the receiver is off when a timer is scheduled, the receiver does one of the following
actions:
• DVR Timer Type—remains off but will record the scheduled event.
• Auto Timer Type—turns on for the event and tunes to the correct channel.
• Reminder Timer Type—turns on at the scheduled time. After a period of time, if you
do nothing, the receiver turns off.
• Ext. Timer Type—turns on for the event and commands the connected external
device to record. The external device must be connected to the receiver's RCA-type
or S-V output and must be turned on when the timer starts.

Special Considerations When Using Timers

• For Locked Programs—you must enter the receiver password before you can create
an automatic timer. You can create a manual timer for a locked program without
entering the password. However, if you do this, when the timer operates, the receiver
may display only an error or password entry menu.
• For Pay-Per-View Programs—you must order a Pay-Per-View program before you
can create a timer for it.
• For Blacked Out Programs—if you set a timer for a program that is blacked out in
your area, when the timer operates the receiver may only display an error.
