How can I avoid recording on demand programs?

On thing that is of top importance to me is the ability to record shows and fast forward through commercials.

I noticed that with my new system (Genie 2 & Gemini), if I record something, if it is an "on demand" recording, then I cannot fast forward the commercials.

So, is there a way to filter out these recordings from the "search", and the "upcoming recordings"

Discovery TV comes to mind.

No there's no way to avoid on demand from being recorded when you do a search, you have to schedule any recordings directly from the guide to avoid that

thanks that is helpful for starters.

Could I also change the series options to record ALL showings, thus it would grab the on-demand, and then later when it was a "normal showing"?

That should work. Try it and let us know.
