Timer Question (HR24)

[Carroll A]

Since my wife does most of the DVR'ing she wanted me to ask a DVR related question... She has a lot of events set up to DVR and she has it set to DVR only first run episodes yet it is recording every episode of what ever show she has it set to record. Is there any tricks to getting it to record only the correct episode or does it have anything to do with the Guide Data that is loaded? Thanks for any help... CC

I've found a few in my time that are like that. Cops is one, if I set up first run on the TiVo, it gets only the Sat 7pm episode, which is right. The Directv box will sometimes record 50 (exaggeration) that week.

If you are setting it up as first run, then it's a guide data issue.

Another issue I've seen, is if you setup a timer for a show in progress, the DVR will tend to record a couple of the older ones, until the first new epi airs. Then it's fine.
