Record new episodes only

I have my DVR set to record new episodes only of air disasters. However, it records old season episodes. DirecTV doesn't even show the number of the season correctly. An advertisement showed A new season starting next Saturday. When I went to look at that new season it showed season 3.

DTV like most TV providers buy the guide data from a third party company that the channels send their guide data to so either one could be causing it.

Using search to set up a series uses it default setting of all channels, On Demand and RR regardless of how you setup the DVR

Incomplete Guide Data from the station/network will cause. The DVR will err on the side of recording stuff if it's not sure of the "first aired" date status.

It has been like this for a very long time. Is DirecTV concerned about this at all? Does DirecTV read these posts?

Nope, only a few employees, the moderators and DTVhelp read these posts.

Contact the channel provider directly and ask them to fix their data.
