Record unwatched only
I’m submitting a request to add “Unwatched Only” to the series recording options. If you’re trying to catch up on an entire series, “New & Repeats” will keep recording the same episodes over and over.

unwatched is 'per account' for that season/episode no matter if it is new or repeat.

"New Episodes Only" doesn't work in the scenario I'm describing. Say a show has 5 seasons, and a channel frequently shows reruns of those 5 seasons. If I want to catch up on that show, I have to use "New and Repeats" or they won't be recorded. But since the channel keeps re-running the same episodes, the DVR keeps recording every episode whether I've watched them or not. "Unwatched Only" would fix that.

did you set your series recording from the grid or a search? first offers a particular channel only, the 2nd may be searching all channels.

when a show is in syndication (bought rights to show sequential episodes), remove your series recording then find that channel and show on the grid and set a recording for new and repeats. then you will get only the shows from that channel.

Just to that channel will still record repeats! Either we need an "unwatched" setting or a way to tell it not to record the same episode more than once! That's the only thing that makes sense.

No, it's not an option. If I want to record new and repeats because its a new series/ show to me, after watching an episode, that episode will record over and over each time it is playing, showing in my recorded shows as already watched.... so then I need to go in and delete the ones I've already watched.
