IMERS
A timer is your instruction telling the satellite receiver the programs you want to view in the future.
For most VCR timers, you select a specific program on a specific channel, and tell the satellite
receiver how often you want to record that program. Be sure to set up the receiver to control your
VCR (see page 77).
