Record ALL episodes

How do I force my DVR to record all episodes, new and repeats (including ones my DVR knows I've watched before?) It seems my DVR knows that I've watched and previously deleted an episode, so it's assuming I don't want to record it again. I do. How do I force it?

many ways to get to the recording options. one is to press the xfinity button, go to scheduled, press down then up, then right to 'series priority, press ok. press down until you get to the program you wish to adjust. press the "i" button (info), then select record options when the show title screen comes up. Select Modify, move to 'record' and select new and repeat episodes. navigate to top and select confirm.

@Rustyben​ no luck with the priority thing. It's set as #1 and still won't record. I tried something: I forced a 1 time recording and looking at it in my list of recordings it is marked as "watched" even though it was watched and deleted 8 months ago. How do I clear the memory? I have a feeling this is why it won't record these repeats.

Thanks, no luck. Show is top priority and still won't record all. Any other ideas?

not talking about moving to priority. recheck the directions so you get the menu to modify future recordings.

@Rustyben​ yes. I followed those directions, (as well as setting the priority, which I read on an different post), still no luck. Still not recording.

edit the record parameters to not be HD preferred. select the station calls letters option like abcdHD. do you have that choice?

@Rustyben​ great concept, but this show airs on about 4 different networks. So setting for "all" "new and repeat"  "HD preferred"  is the only one that catches all networks. If I do FXXHD only, then it omits other channels... And just as a test, I did FXXHD only, it still skips ones it remembers me watching a year ago.
