• Creation during the regular season will include playoff games.

• Creation during the playoffs will NOT include regular season games.

Game Details Screen Changes

A different game details screen will show when you create a OnePass for sports depending on what's already setup. See samples below.

Series Details Screen Changes

The on-screen menu options are updated to be more relevant for sports.

Please note that due to technical limitations, when there are no upcoming games for an eligible team or league, the word “episode” will appear instead of “games/match”.

Difference in Settings of Default OnePass to OnePass for Sports

• Not changeable for OnePass for sports

• Channel default is the same, but cannot be changed for OnePass sports teams (it can be changed for league OnePasses)

Things to consider:

• Out of season impact to default settings: When there are no upcoming games (the sport is out of season), defaults will reflect a Standard OnePass setting not the OnePass setting for sports.

• Existing regular season series OnePasses for OnePasses for sports eligible leagues will be converted to league OnePasses. The OnePass option remains the same – they aren’t updated to the new defaults.

Stop Recording Setting (default to add 1 hour)

The default settings when creating a OnePass for a supported OnePass team for “Stop Recording” is 1 hour longer.

Folder and Deletion Rules

• When a OnePass for sports is created, a folder in My Shows will be visible containing the recordings.

• If a user has a OnePass for sports for both a team and the league that team is in, folders for each will be created (Ex. San Francisco 49ers and NFL), and recordings for the same game will show in both folders.

• Deleting a “common” recording in one folder will delete it in the other.

• The same kind of behavior occurs when you have 2 “team passes” for teams that play each other.

• The recording for that game will be in 2 folders, deleting in one will delete in the other.
