If you are recording from On Demand then it is the channel that is charging you for their content not DTV.

Probably because the chargeable episode was recorded from the channel's On Demand library, instead of the satellite channel. Sadly more and more channels are adding chargeable content to their libraries to capitalize on binge watchers or those catching up on series. This not replacing the free On Demand content, just adding more paid content along with it.
