Recording a Game

[ryanvan]

Sorry if this post is too specific to my case, but it's really frusterating.

I already have 2 programs sceduled to record.

1. Days of Our Lives - 1pm (tuner 2)
2. Survivor 7pm (Tuner1)

I wanted to schedule the Dodger game for that same day that starts at 6pm. There is nothing conflicting, but it still won't let me record it.

It says something about priorities.

Sorry I don't have the exact error but I would really like to record that GAME!!!

PS...GO DODGERS!!!

Do you have something else scheduled to start at 7:30pm, like The Office?

You could set up the timer, then go to the SET PRIORITY option and set the Priority as #1. That would force it to record before everything else.

I don't have anything else set. Just those 2. I do however still want to record Survivor and the game. I don't see anything that says there are three recordings set to record at the same time.

Assuming you are setting up the Doger game on TV2 there should be no conflict.
If the timer is going to TV1 it would conflict with the Survivor timer.

Also note that sports timers are automatically extended for one hour beyond the event.

Are all of these OTA's. If they are all OTA's then that is the conflict problem. You will have to find the ball game on a non OTA if possible.

OTA timers cannot be set on tuner 2. OTA via sat can, but then they are not OTAs. :)

You only need two shows to make a priority conflict if they are both recording on an OTA channel? Any chance you are recording Survivor on a OTA channel (2.1) and doing the same for the Dodger game (12.1)? Put one of them on a sat local channel to avoid a conflict IF that is the case.

That's why I was pretty sure that was the problem.
