Auto Recording
• Whenever you tur n the r eceiver on, it’s auto rec ording.
• Withautorecord,youcanrecorduptoabout an hour of a program. This
total recording time applies to auto r ecording only.
• The r eceiver needs more room to record programs with more a ction. So,
the total recording time isn’t exact.
•Afterabout an hour, the receiver starts to record over its oldest audio
and video to have room for new audio and video.
• If one program e nds 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 r ecorded audio and vide o, a nd
start recording the new channel.

• When you m ake a one-time DishDVR recording, you can set the
receiver to ask you before it records over wha t you record. This is
how you “protect” a recorded event.

the oldest “unprotected” recorded event(s) to make room.
• If the receive r is out of room, and you don’t let it record over any
old recorded events, it won’t be able to rec ord a new event.
