Event Timer:
The DISH Network DTVPal is the only CECB that we know of that will have this feature.
The DTVPal is expected to be capable of allowing the user to set event
timers. This feature is useful when used with a VCR or a DVD recorder for recording
programs in the future. An event timer will change the channel on the
converter box at a predetermined time.
Events can be created in different ways such as choosing a program from the
program guide, browsing the channel banner, using an event search, or by time, date and channel.
Events can be created, edited, or deleted by selecting them from a list of
timers. Timers can be scheduled to occur daily, weekly or Mon-Fri and they can be set
to repeat.
Manufacturers specifications are subject to change without notice.
