How do I cancel an automated recording on a DISH Network DVR?

Question

We have DISH Network service, with one box servicing 2 televisions. There are a few weekly automated recordings that we no longer want but we do not know how to cancel them. We are currently skipping or deleting the scheduled recordings, but is there any way of canceling the scheduled recordings altogether? Thanks

Answer 1

Hit the DVR button on the remote, and then go to the Timers button.  This lists the programs you've told the DVR to record for you on a regular basis.

If you delete an entry here, that show will no longer be recorded, ever.

You can also reorder the priorities of your programs here as well.  So, for instance, if you want to make sure a certain show is always recorded, move it higher on your list.

Making any changes on this screen will cause the DVR to rebuild its schedule of shows to record - which will take a few minutes.  During this time the DVR won't be responsive to your commands.

(unfortunately, mine tends to crash, and then reboots...but it's fine after that, and at it implements my changes so it's just annoying as opposed to completely broken.)
