How to Stop Series Recording via Browser or the App

I am away from home for several weeks, and wish to stop the "series recording" of a particular show. It was possible at home, using the Gemini box, but I cannot find a way to do that via browser access on my laptop, nor via the DirecTV Stream app on my iPad. Thanks for any pointers.
