ViP722 - How to record in SD only

[harshness]

On the 722 by default it records the HD channel even if you try recording it from the SD channel at least mine did.

On the ViP722 and any other DISH ViP DVR, if you choose to record an SD channel using a manual timer or the guide, it will record the SD channel. As suggested above, if you choose to go the DishPass method, you need to set some preferences.

On the 722 by default it records the HD channel even if you try recording it from the SD channel at least mine did. There is a setting within the menu, somewhere sorry my wife found this and showed me awhile back. You need to change this setting and at that point then it will record the SD channel rather than the HD one.

My recordings > schedule > choose a timer > timer > options > set resolution > there it is set it to SD

That option is only available for Dish pass timers. For normal timers you just have to select the SD channel when setting up the timer.
