Recording tv series months in advance

We just switched to Directv from Uverse.  We had about 20+ shows recorded and I wanted to duplicate our recordings on Directv.  I saw the series listed in the 'on demand' section and selected tv shows.  I then selected each show and selected record series.  After selecting about 15 series I looked in 'my library' and only see 3 series to be recorded.  I think my library only displays recordings for the next 2 weeks.  What about shows that start in the fall? 

When using Uverse I could display a list of recordings for the entire year!   I talked to Directv support and they had no solution.   This needs to be fixed in a new software release.

I'm open to any ideas!

Because the content providers continuously change metadata or even air time for episodes/series, DTV Stream only shows things coming up in the next few days in your Upcoming Recordings list. To ensure you're recording, what you did should suffice; go into the Series page and trigger Series Recordings (just be aware that you have the All Episodes vs. the New Episodes option).  You also have to be aware that a couple of series air on different channels, so sometimes the network doesn't treat something as Old vs. New. Check your recordings occasionally, as you have a 30-episode limit on DVR.
