Personal TV Service

WebTV’s Personal TV service is the wave of the future. It gives you the capability nev er to miss a progr am and to watch it at your co nven­ience. With Personal TV you can:
Schedule programs to record on your Personal TV service or your VCR
Play and replay recorded programs
Receive Instant News from your TV Listings
Personal TV also lets you pause live TV programs. When you’ve paused a program you can then fast forwa rd and rewind through the program as you are watching it. For instance, you can use instant replay to see that winning touchdown again, or skip ahead past a scene you already viewed. Subscription to Personal TV service requires a subscription in addition to your satellite TV service. Call 1-800-333­DISH (3474) to subscribe.

Recording a Program On Personal TV

Recording a program on Personal TV is like recording a program on your VCR only instead of recording on to a tape, you are recording on to the hard drive of the DISHPlayer receiver. If you record a program on to your Personal TV se rv ice and then decide you want a copy saved

The DISH Player has a limited capacity for recording (between 4 and 12 hours of record time). Depen ding on the model of your receiver, the size of the hard drive, and what you are recording, your Personal TV service may erase previously recorded programs if it needs the space to record scheduled recording events.
Note: You cannot change channels while recording. If you try to change channels, a warning panel will appear at the bottom of your screen prompting you to stop rec ordi ng. Sel ect St op R ec o rd in g if you wish to quit recording the current program to Personal TV.
