Is there any way to have a DVR recording default to Once rather than New Programs? Most of the time I don't want to record multiple episodes. Its no big deal, but I was just wondering.

Sure there is, when you set it up you are asked whether you want 'All New', 'All', or 'Once'......
Doh! He did say default didn't he...... The default used to be 'Once.' Most, and I mean just about everyone, wanted that to be New Episodes. It got set up that way for a reason.
n0qcu is correct. There's no way to set the default to record "once"
I'd prefer the once option myself
I'll put in the requests
Yup, same here. Plus the stuff I want to keep I move to my EHD, and then the timer fires later on and records another 14 hours. If the default were Once, the timer would go away on it's own without a search and destroy mission. Well... The 14 hr series is a bad example, but you all get the point.

When i want record a movie from a movie channel, the default is once (once is highlighted) when recording a regular show, new eps is highlighted
unless its a syndicated show then it defaults to all
but honestly this is one complaint I had when I started with Dish. Directv is simple
one hit of record button to record that show
two to record the series (which has the defaults already...default is new)
No extra menus to go into to set up a recording like with Dish

Guess it's what a person prefers,when I was with D* I thought I liked the one button record feature,but after accidentally pressing the record button several times in 3 years when using the D* remote.I can now state I prefer when I accidentally hit the record button I like Dish Network's 722k's setup better(you have to confirm you want to record).No accidentally recorded partial programs to delete,but like I said it would be a personal preference what a person likes.
