Series Recordings

Hi All:

Small issue. I have a show set to record the series. ie: Law and Order. When I see the future recordings "List" its set to record at 2:00am, 3:00am on another channel. (Old episodes) Not sure if this is clear. Anyone having this issue?

This issue has been complained about a lot. It is impossible to record just new episodes of the Price is Right, Jeopardy, Saturday Night Live, and many others. You cannot specify the channel you want to be recorded, so it will include episodes on the many FAST channels, which for some reason are flagged as new. DirecTV's response has been "What a wonderful idea. We will pass that along". But recording is broken, it is not a wonderful idea. It needs a fix.

Thanks for reaching out, @JJK1954. A great way to avoid these duplicates is by using the 'New Episodes Only' setting for your series recordings. This will ensure you only record new episodes and avoid reruns. Rhyan, DIRECTV Community Team

@DIRECTVhelp  choosing "new episodes" only does not solve the issue if the show is on multiple channels. If you guys would allow people to setup series recordings with an option to choose which channel to record on .......(like Dtv satellite does) that would solve the issue
