CREATING A DISHPASS™ TIMER
DishPASS lets you create timers to record programs automatically based on your search
terms. When the receiver finds programs that meet your search term, it automatically sets
a timer to record that program. As the program guide is updated, DishPASS continues to
find and records your shows based upon your search criteria.
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 enter the exact title of the movie. If the movie is made available on
a movie channel you subscribe to, the receiver automatically sets a timer to record that
movie for you.
1 Press MENU and select Daily Schedule.
2 Select DishPASS.
3 Select the Search Method:
• Title—search for programs by title.
• Info—search for programs whose descriptions or titles contain key words.
4 Optionally, select Exact Match if you want to find only programs that match exactly what
you’ve entered in either the program title or info.
