Cloud dvr records all episodes instead of new episodes only
Over the past few weeks, all episodes of shows are being recorded instead of just New episodes. Is this a problem for other subscribers?

Yes, I have this problem with just one of my recorded tv shows. I've checked the settings several times but it continues to record all episodes instead of just the new ones.

find a recording or the next time the show is on the guide. press info, record options. does it show 'HD preferred' or an actual channel's call letters? (different networks have different new/repeat/"no marking"). is the new and repeats set to new? if 'new/repeat' is not marked at all then the X1 system will consider it 'new'.

All shows incorrectly scheduled for recording are marked Repeat, and subsequent New episodes are correctly scheduled for recording. All are non-Big Three network shows...they are usually Discovery or History.
In one case, the setting had changed (not by me) to record both New and Repeat. Correcting the setting to New only did not apply universally. I had to reset each episode individually.
I guess this is why Streaming is still labeled Beta...

in the series settings do you have HD preferred/SD preferred/ "station call letters here" only choice?

HD preferred (my selection)
HD only
SD preferred
SD only
I have selected HD preferred since I began using Streaming, long ago. This issue with recording Repeat episodes when set for New only is recent.

many series are shown on multiple networks and each can set 'new/repeat' flag on their network. you can check the next episode's date/time/channel and then remove the series recording. then locate the next episode in the guide and press the record button. leave the setting 'call letters' only. then other channels won't be recorded. the best practice is to set recordings from the guide rather than the search system so that you can set just the channel you want to record.

blue blooks has not been marking new nor repeat causing it to record for all of us that record new episodes of the show.
