Xfinity keeps recording on baseball Extra Innings channels I don’t subscribe to

For years I’ve been using Xfinity to record all San Francisco Giants games, on whatever channel they may be broadcast on. But now my series recording not only records that game, but also tries to record the same game on two Extra Innings channels (the Giants channel, plus their opponents channel). I don’t subscribe to Extra Innings channels and have no interest in them. But what I now get, in addition to the actually broadcast Giants game, is two additional recordings of three hours or so of notices that I don’t subscribe to the Extra Innings channels. Which of course I already knew! This is an obvious Xfinity technical problem. PLEASE FIX IT!

With all due respect, [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. Of course I know how to go to Scheduled Recordings and make changes. But (1) I don’t want to have to delete two scheduled nonsense recordings for every actual game recording I get. And (2) when I do go to Scheduled Recordings and try to delete the two upcoming nonsense recordings, the Xfinity DVR goes ahead and records them anyways. And I’m not making a mistake. I have tried this a dozen times. The issue is that the Xfinity DVR system is insisting on trying to record my games on two channels to which I do not subscribe as well as the regular broadcast channel that I actually do want to record. And I can’t seem to stop it.
