Series Recording Issues for Entertainment Tonight on ABC

I have Entertainment Tonight on ABC set to series record but it does not seem to record the nightly episodes at 6pm.
I have tried to both options of "new episodes & all episodes"
It decides to record the show the next day on a different channel.
What do I do?

Try setting it to record from the guide. That works for me sometimes when I have issues getting a show to record on a specific channel.

Live broadcasts and unexpected schedule changes can affect your recording times. If Entertainment Tonight doesn't air as planned on ABC, your DVR may look for the next available slot on another channel. To ensure Entertainment Tonight records correctly, open your Guide, find the show on ABC at 6:00 PM, and select Record Series. Next, check your DVR playlist to confirm the schedule.

I followed your steps and it shows it’s taping tonight on ABC and the rest are showing to be recorded at 530am on Paramount Network.

Why is it doing that?
