Is there a function on any receiver which can turn to another channel automatically through timer? For example: I'm recording channel 144 right now. Can I program the receiver to change to channel 140 at 3:30am at night, while I'm sleeping?
I've tried the 'wake up' timer function but that only works if the receiver is off. It doesn't work when the receiver is on.:-(
I need the receiver to stay on channel 144 and then turn to channel 140 at 3:30am, by itself. Instead of me waking up in the middle of the night to change the channel manually.
Is this possible on any receiver that you know of? I have a Pansat 2500 clone.
