If you have set up the maximum number of event timers, then your satellite receiver displays an error message when you try to set up an additional one, giving you the option of deleting an existing event timer.3. If you try to extend the end of an event timer and create a conflict with other timers’ start times, then an error message displays.4. If you stop or skip a timer that recurs, the next showing of the program is not affected. To stop all occurrences, you must delete the event timer. (Timers set to record Once are automatically deleted after they occur.)5. If you set a timer that misses the beginning or end of a program, you may want to change the Start Early or End Late options for that timer.Events not recording1. Ensure event timers that you want to record programs are listed as DVR (Digital Video Recorder) type timers, not Auto-Tune type timers.2. If you set up a recurring event timer, but it does not record one or more specific showings of the program, then double-check that you set the correct recurrence frequency for that timer (Weekly, Daily, Mon-Fri.).3. If you set up a timer to Record Series, ensure that you have selected the correct choice between Only New Episodes or New and Reruns.4. If you have several timers set for the same or overlapping time periods, then one or more may be skipped. Ensure that you have set the Priority of the recordings correctly.
