Season Pass, Recording Options, To Do List

Your DIRECTV

®

HD DVR makes finding and recording programs easy—so easy that you

may find more programs you enjoy than you ever expected! Your HD DVR can help with
this too, by giving you simple ways to manage your recordings and make sure you watch
what you want, when you want to watch it.

Season Pass and Other Repeating Recordings

There are three types of recordings that repeat automatically:

Season Pass. Records every episode of a series that airs on a certain channel—even if

the day or time slot changes! It is totally automatic and easy to set up. Just select a
program (from the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide

TM

, or from search results) and

choose “Get a Season Pass.” You can even set a Season Pass to record first-run
programs only (no repeats!), and to keep as many, or as few, episodes as you want.

Manual Repeating Recording. Records on a specific channel at a specific time, just as

you would with a VCR. See page 61 for more information.

Auto-recording WishList

TM

.

Records all programs a WishList search finds. See page 67.

These three types of recordings also have the following in common:

No duplicates within 28 days. If you watch or delete a particular episode or showing, it

will not be recorded automatically again for 28 days. This prevents the Now Playing List
from filling up with shows you probably don’t want. If you want to record duplicates, go
to Recording Options, Show Type, and select “All (with duplicates).” You can also
schedule a single duplicate recording for a particular program.

There is one common exception to this “28 day rule:” if a program is deleted before you
watch it, that program may be recorded again within 28 days.

If some Season Pass programs are

not recording, you may need to

change their priority with the Season

Pass Manager. See page 53.
