A Season Pass records every episode of a series that airs on a certain channel—even if the 
day or time slot changes! It is totally automatic and really easy to set up. Just select a 
program (from the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide

™

, for example) and choose “Get 

a Season Pass.” Season Pass recordings have the following characteristics:

• No duplicates within 28 days. If you watch or delete a particular episode or showing, 

it will not be recorded automatically again for 28 days. This prevents the Now Playing 
List from filling up with shows you probably don’t want. If you want to record 
duplicates, select the program on the Season Pass screen, then choose “Change 
recording options,” highlight “Show Type options,” and select “All (with duplicates).” 

• Parental Controls. If Parental Controls are on when you schedule a Season Pass, the 

DVR checks its current program information to see if any upcoming program violates 
a Parental Control. If a program does, the DVR requires the current password to 
continue. See page 90.

• Keep at Most=5. By default, five episodes of the program are kept in the Now Playing 

List. You can change this setting. See page 60.

• Resolving conflicts. The DVR service resolves scheduling conflicts by comparing 

recording priorities. You can change priorities using the Season Pass Manager. See 
page 60.

. In addition to being characteristics of the Season Pass, the above 

also apply to two other types of recordings that repeat automatically:

• A manual repeat recording records on a specific channel at a specific time (much like 

the recordings you would set up with a VCR). See page 72.

• An auto-recording WishList records all the programs a WishList finds. See page 78.
