DishPASS lets you create timers to record programs automatically based on your search
criteria. When the receiver finds programs that meet your search criteria, it will
automatically set a timer to record that program. As the program guide is updated,
DishPASS will continue to find and record your shows based upon your search criteria.
Note that DishPASS only finds programs on satellite channels.
An example of how to use DishPASS may be that you saw a movie in the theaters and you
want to watch it again as soon as it comes out on a movie channel. Use the Exact Match
and Title options, and then type the exact title of the movie. If the movie is made available
on a movie channel you subscribe to, the receiver will automatically set a timer to record
that movie for you.
