You set up an event timer for a
program that is repeated (such as a
regularly scheduled program), but the
timer does not operate for a showing
of the program.
You may have set up a timer with
an incorrect frequency.
Remember that a Once event timer
operates just one time. A Mon.-Fri.
event timer operates Monday through
Friday on the same channel at the same
time. A Daily event timer does the same,
Monday through Sunday. A Weekly
event timer operates once a week on
the same channel at the same time. All
Episodes timers will record all episodes
of that program, while New Episodes
timers will record only the current
season. A DishPASS timer records
programs matching your DishPASS
search term.
You set up an event timer, but the
timer does not operate at all.
• You may have several timers
set up for the same time and
the event timer you set is at a
lower priority than others.
• You may have selected New
Episodes and the timer you
set was for an episode that is
not new.
• Check the Priorities.
• Check the Timer Frequency.
You set up a DishPASS Timer and
you notice that you have no space left
on your My Recordings List.
The DishPASS Timer may have
included more matching
programs than what you
expected.
Delete that DishPASS Timer and begin
again.
You stop the operation of an event
timer for one showing of a program
that is repeated (such as a regularly
scheduled program), but the timer
operates for the next showing.
Stopping the event timer applies
only to the current showing of the
program.
To stop all operations of a repeated
event timer, you must delete the event
timer.
Note : The receiver deletes a Once
event timer when it operates.
You edit an automatic event timer.
The timer does not start or does not
end according to the program for
which you set the timer.
Editing an automatic event timer
converts it to a manual event
timer. Such a timer starts and
stops at the times you specify,
not the start and stop times of
any specific program.
If you want an automatic event timer to
start and stop according to a specific
program, avoid editing that event timer.
You try to set up a manual event
timer. The receiver displays an Error
message.
You may have tried to set a
manual event timer with invalid
start or stop times.
Review the information on manual
event timers.
The receiver does not display the
program name for a manual event
timer.
The receiver may not be able to
display a program name for a
manual event timer.
Use the Program Guide or a printed
schedule to find the program name.
You set an event timer. The event
timer misses the beginning or the end
of a program.
The program may have started a
little earlier than scheduled, or it
may have run over its scheduled
ending time.
• Use the Start 1 min. early option to
start any event timer one minute
early, except for a Pay-Per-View
event.
• Use a manual event timer to start any
event timer at the times you set
yourself, except for a Pay-Per-View
event.
