Why random recordings?

Here is a solution to the random recording problem. Many, many of Xfinity users have random recordings appearing in their Scheduled recordings list. I have had to delete thousands of random recordings and it's very frustrating. The reason it’s happening is that channels we would never watch are labeling old episodes as “NEW” when in fact they are not new. As an engineer, we were always told to apply the KISS solution to problems. For the non-engineers, KISS stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. All the Xfinity programmers have to do is allow users to designate any channel as unwanted and allow them to put it in a “Not Needed Now” box. It wouldn’t delete the channel from the user’s channel lineup but would just make it invisible as an available channel. If the user desired, at some later time they could re-add it back into their list of available channels. Problem solved.
