Dish decided I needed to record Orphan Black: Echoes.

Last night I was watching Biography: Dee Snider when I had to pull my dinner out of the oven and make some sides, so I paused it. I came back a little after the show should have ended, but since I was planning to watch Biography: Alice Cooper which was on after it I thought everything was cool. Unfortunately, when I returned to my tv it had started to record Orphan Black: Echoes and my saved-up time was gone. I did not set it to record this show, I didn't care a single bit about the original or this new version, it was set to record all new episodes and when I deleted the timer it said "cancelled by customer" instead of living room 1. This is not the first-time things have been recorded without my permission, and I would like to know if there is a way to keep it from happening. Thanks for any help you can give.

Lucky you...I had a timer set for Orphan Black and it did not fire.

I don't recall what the air date was on the guide but it was not new. I set a timer for new & reruns. It did record.

I have alot timer that still dont record cause it not labeled as new, for some stupid reason the meta tag for 5 year old timer is changed and starts recording something completely different.

I did set Orphan black :echos to record and it was set for new only is did record, Dishes guide info and date and times and crap is mess and has been for years atlest it not bad as it was few years ago

I still remeber when Dish guide thought Quantum Leap (original) had new episodes listed at 2000 and quite a few other shows listed the same

Sorry I can’t help, but should I be watching Orphan Black? Never heard of it before.

I believe this is what they call irony. I didn't want to watch it but it was recorded anyway, but people who wanted to watch it had trouble doing so.

Orphan Black gets very high ratings at Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. It’s one of those shows I keep meaning to get around to.

Echos is rated well but not as high as the original.

For me, the jury is still out on Echos, but the original was 5 stars! Plus, the Emmy winning acting ability of Tatiana Maslany playing 5 different and unique versions of herself.

Sunday's 7/7 show air date was 11/3/23. Yesterday's was also dated the same.
