Introduction

Quick Tour of Digital Video Recorder Features

DVR features let you have fun with live TV because they put you in control.

Is someone at the door or on the phone? Just press PAUSE on the remote.

When you are ready to start watching the program again, press PLAY. You

will start up right where you left off without missing a minute of the

program. The following tour gives you an overview of the DVR features of

your DISH Network satellite TV receiver. For instructions on specific

functions, see Chapter 3, Using the System.

1. Watch a program for just a few minutes.

2. Press the PAUSE button to pause the program.

Note

: The status bar at the bottom of your screen shows how

long the program has been paused. You can pause a live

program for up to two hours.

On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended

periods of time may cause them to be permanently

imprinted on the screen. Consult your TV user guide for

information on whether this is a problem for your TV,

what operating/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this

problem, and associated TV warranty coverage.

3. Press the PLAY button to watch the program from the point

where you paused it.

4. Press the VIEW LIVE TV button to return right away to

viewing the program in progress.

5. Press the SKIP BACK button to skip back about ten

seconds in the program.

Tip: You can
pause a live pro-
gram to answer
the phone or get
a snack!
