Use Event Timers
Page 49
• If you use an event timer, you can record only the channel you’ve got
tuned. This means you can’t record one program and watch or record
another “live” program at the same time.
• If you open a menu while you record to a VCR, the tape may record the
menu. If you change the volume or press the MUTE button, the tape
may record the change depending on how your VCR is connected in
your system.
Note : If you want to have Event Timer record to a VCR, you must set
up the receiver to control the VCR. See Control a VCR on page 56.
Note : Even if the systems shows “PVR” instead of “DVR,” it works the
same way.
Event Timer Types
DVR Reminds you a program is about to start; tunes the receiver to
the program when it begins; records the program with the
DishDVR features.
Auto-Tune Reminds you a program is about to start; tunes the receiver to
the program when it begins.
Reminder Reminds you a program is about to start.
VCR Reminds you a program is about to start; tunes the receiver to
the program when it begins; starts a VCR to record the
program.
Event Timer Frequencies
Once Works for a one-time program. If the program time changes,
this timer works at the new time. The receiver deletes this
timer right after the timer works.
Note: A Once timer keys on
a program, not a time. So even if the program comes on late,
the timer works for it.
Weekly Works once a week on the same channel at the same time on
the same day. You can set this timer for a program that comes
on once a week.
Daily Works on Monday through Sunday on the same channel at
the same time each day. You can set this timer for a program
that comes on every day.
Mo.-Fr. Works on Monday through Friday on the same channel at the
same time each day. You can set this timer for a program that
comes on every weekday.
