Recording from wrong channel

How do I tell it NOT to record from multiple channels??  It winds up recording very old shows on channels like Game Show Network!!  I selected new and no reruns.

To stop unwanted recordings, go to the show's page in My Library and choose "Cancel series" to stop future recordings, @gulfbreezey. This will stop the app from recording new episodes, but it won't remove old ones.

Steps:
1. Open My Library: In the DIRECTV STREAM app, go to "My Library" or hit "List" on your DIRECTV remote if you're using a Gemini device.
2. Choose "Upcoming recordings" then look for the show you want to stop recording.
3. Click on the Show: Tap the show's title (not an episode).
4. Cancel Recording: Find "Cancel series" or "Stop recording series" and click it. This will stop all future recordings of that show.

Thanks for your input.  I don’t want the show to stop being recorded I want it to only be recorded by the original show channel (CBS). The problem is it is also being recorded on the Gameshow channel and those are all reruns and they air multiple shows each day.  I indicated only new shows when requesting the CBS recording buy all the shows on the Gameshow network are considered new.  I was hoping for someway to make the Gameshow network to go away.

Specific channel recording isn't supported at this time, but we'll consider it for a future enhancement. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

Yes please do. Would be nice to be able to record a series by channel number like you can on Dtv Satellite.

I’d think if the satellite version could do this they could easily figure out how to do it on streaming!!  Thanks for the comment!
