Multiple Scheduling Instances
COM 51 can schedule up to 10 processing instances.
When one instance is submitted a second blank will open. If an additional instance is not needed, leave the last
one blank.
Retune
Programming will tune back to the originally set channel if a low bitrate is seen for five minutes on the event
channel, or 30 minutes after the event ends.
Auto-tuning to an unauthorized channel will be detected after five minutes of low bitrate.
EPG / Guide.XML channel and programming information will remain set to the original channel and will not
display the scheduled programming information.
Recommended Practice
There are two different modes to use the Autotune Scheduler:
Set the list once at the beginning of the season. Use broad keywords like “baseball” or “football”. Set a schedule
to tighten filtering. This is an effective way to see all the sports programming from a special DIRECTV sports
package.
Use tight filtering like “baseball Mets” or “baseball Reds”. This may be needed if the source channel list includes
“baseball programming” that you don’t want.
It is important to note the wide searches such a “baseball” may cause a channel to change and not change back
if “baseball” programing is playing within the search criteria. Try to be as specific as possible. If a wide keyword
is used a smaller Source channel should be used.
