Recording problem post 2, 2/22/24

Since I could not get a straight answer from support I thought of a way that might solve my TV series recording problem. My problem is when I selected a channel that was airing the Series (ION) the recordings were mostly from some Pay per View channel. Paying $2.99 for an episode that will air for free is not what I want. I was told by an agent that the pay per view would be recorded over when that episode was aired. That did not occur on at least 3 episodes of a series. Later I did find some episodes did record as free but the pay per view episode was still there. This didn’t seem consistent for all series. That reduces the storage capacity in half unless you delete (one at a time) the pay per view episodes. The HS-500 (Genie 2??) can’t have an external HD added to it as was my understanding. I have blocked all pay per view channels to attempt a solution for the $2.99 an episode. To soon to have any results. Has anyone else tried this?
