DVR recording issue

user_p80evm thank you for sharing that information with me. If the DVR is recording both old and new episodes despite being set to "Only New Episodes", check the show's Rerecord Options — the DVR setting “Only New Episodes” will record only episodes the network lists as New; if the network marks an episode as New on one channel but Repeat on another, recordings can vary. Also verify Channel Option (HD Preferred / SD Preferred / This Channel Only) because choosing “This Channel Only” may miss episodes airing on other channels and cause unexpected duplicates; change to HD or SD Preferred or schedule a one-time recording to force a duplicate.

I have verified all of these things. And it's still a problem. The shows that get scheduled are all from the same channel -- Comedy Central.

No. The only one that shows as "new" is the one I actually want to record. All of the others say "repeat".

Actually, the ones that it records don't say "new" or "repeat". I just rechecked that. The ones that come up when I want to record all new episodes are the new episodes as well as all the ones that are not marked "new" or "repeat". For example, on Comedy Central, if you look at the South Park that is on October 19th at 5:00 a.m., as well as a bunch right after that, they do not have a "new" or "repeat" designation. So perhaps the issue is that, if a show is not marked as "new", it should not be included in the scheduled recordings for new episodes. It seems that those that do not have any designation are considered as new, which seems to be the wrong choice.
