Programing series recordings

I  just started with the Genie DVR and am having strange things happen.  I left Spectrum  to go with Directv and had a list of series I need to setup to record on the Genie.  I did a search, found the a series I wanted and pressed 'record'. I then received an option to 'Record Future Series' or not. I selected the first.  When I look  in 'Recordings' / 'View Play List' / 'Recoding Manager' / 'Series Manager', I found I had 2 entries for each selected series, the second reading 'all channels'.  The first seems to be for the current seadon.   When I look in 'Recording History', I have a list of 'pending recording's that included all the previous episodes for each series that had an current episode being recorded.  I had to go thru and delete all the previous episodes for each series.  Now I am seeing that when a series starts to record an episode for the first time on this Genie, it does it again (lists all the old episodes).  Series that for which  I have cleaned out the previous episodes does not do it when the next episode record.  I just want the current and future episodes.  I have about 40 series setup and will have to go thru this clean out routine for each.  Any way to prevent the old episodes from listing?
