I had a timer setup on my new 510 (I've had it for less than a week) to record a show last night. I was watching a previously recorded program when the little clock in bottom left corner started flashing. I hit the "stop" button to stop the program I was watching and turned the receiver off. It then didn't turn back on to record the program that I had a timer for. What should I have done? Does watching a recorded show while a timer is set to start mess something up?
Did I screw up a timer by...

I have a 508 and if I'm watching a program when the little clock pops up, I hit "select" and then "OK". It just lets me know its going to record. You can still watch the prerecorded program, the DVR will start recording the correct info. 
Iceburg is right.
Hit select if you want to see what the timer is.
Or hit cancel and Mr. Blinky goes away without cancelling the timer.
Watching a recorded program will not stop or mess up a timer.

whoops
sounds like you stopped the recording
The "blinky" clock is the only thing that bugs me when I'm copying something from the HD to the VCR

heatho, i'm also a new dish & 510 customer and have had similar problems. i am trying to nail down a repeatable scenario of this failure. can you try to do exactly the same and see if it fails again?
