Creating an Automatic Timer
Chapter 9
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.
