How to record a series new episodes only on a certain channel?

I'm new to DirecTV Stream and I've got it mostly figured out except for one thing. I'm trying to setup a series recording for Pardon The Interruption on ESPN. I only want it to record new episodes. But when I setup the series recording it's grabbing the show several times a day as it airs on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN News, etc. I obviously only need to record it once, just the first time it airs on the main ESPN channel. How do I do this?

That option isn't available.

Obviously not the answer I was hoping for. How would you recommend recording a show like this? The options would seem to be 1) set each upcoming episode manually, which would be a (Edited per community guidelines) but at least I would only get one copy of each new episode, or 2) set a series recording and then delete all the duplicate recordings later.

Neither is ideal.

I guess this is a combination of ESPN marking all these alternate broadcasts as new, and DirecTV software not being smart enough to ignore duplicates (which could be solved by giving us the option to record on only one channel).
