When I try to record back to back programs on different channels the timers won't work. It tells me there is a conflict with the timers and tells me to change priority or whatever. I can set a manual timer and put an hour between shows and then it will work. For example, if I'm trying to record football games and 10 and 17, I can start a manual timer at 6 instead of 5:30, when the other game ends at 5, and it will record from that point on.

You can check the start and end times on your receiver to see if the timers are setup to begin a few minutes early or end a few later than the actual program time. This would cause a conflict if you are trying to record back to back shows.

To access the screen, press the DVR button to bring up the DISH On Demand screen. Press 1 (My Recordings) on the remote. On the My Recordings screen, highlight the Schedule button on the right, press Select. On the Daily Schedule screen, highlight the Timers button on the right, press select. On the Timers List screen, move the cursor into the box with the list of timers and select a timer, press select. On the Timer Event screen, highlight the Options button, press select. On the Timers Options screen, this is where the early and late activity is set. Change the numbers to a number that will work for your needs. Once completed, highlight and select Done; then exit out of each screen. I hope this helps.

Hi this is Luke.
DVR Priority settings are used to prioritize timers should there be a conflict between timers. The top of the list is the highest priority and takes precedence. The bottom of the list is the lowest priority. A lower priority timer will not fire if there is a higher priority timer at the same time. Timers that conflict with each other will display Attention 532. The message may display when switching from Single User Mode to Dual User Mode because the receiver recalculates timers for conflicts.

1. Press DVR three times on the remote (twice for a 942 receiver). The skip timer icon (red x) designates a conflicting timer.
2. Select Timers.
3. Select Set Priority.
4. Select the timer to change.
5. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons on the remote or the Move Up and Move Down options on the screen to move the timer priority one at a time. Use the Move to Top and Move to Last options on the screen to make the timer top or last priority.
6. Select Done.
