More About the DVR Features
Auto Recording
•
Whenever you turn the receiver on, it’s auto recording.
•
With auto record, you can record up to about an hour of a program. This
total recording time applies to auto recording only.
•
The receiver needs more room to record programs with more action. So,
the total recording time isn’t exact.
•
After about an hour, the receiver starts to record over its oldest audio
and video to have room for new audio and video.
•
If one program ends and the next one starts on the same channel, the
receiver continues to record the next program.
•
If you change the channel, you erase the recorded audio and video, and
start recording the new channel.
On-Demand Recording
•
On-demand recording works only when you set it up.
•
The receiver must have enough room to record:
•
When you make a one-time DishDVR recording, you can set the
receiver to ask you before it records over what you record. This is
how you “protect” a recorded event.
•
If the receiver needs room to record a new event, it’ll record over
the oldest “unprotected” recorded event(s) to make room.
•
If the receiver is out of room, and you don’t let it record over any
old recorded events, it won’t be able to record a new event.
•
To free up space on the receiver, you can erase events by opening
the
Events Information
menu and selecting the
Erase
option.
Auto and On-Demand Record at the Same Time
If you record a live program using the on-demand option, you can use auto
recording to pause, go back to play, reverse, skip back through, fast forward,
or skip ahead through the same program at the same time.
