dvr records blanks from channels we didnt purchase

How do I get copies of records and notes describing phone calls with Directv customer service?

Hello all.  I'll start off by saying as soon as I can (when the contract fine gets smaller) I'm switching back to Dish.  In the meantime, whenever I choose to record a show and I only want the 'first run' that is what I choose.  What I get is every first run that they play each day!!  Apparently if

My DVR has started recording show that where never put on the To do list. It just spontaneously records shows without anyone selecting the shows to be recorded. Can someone please tell me what is going on and how I can fix it. I've already tried to reset the receiver, but it's still doing the same t

When we set the recorder to record a program, it frequently records a whole day of that channel. It will record 13 hours of miscellaneous programs that I have to search through to find what I was interested in. This often blocks other shows during the process too.  Now it has the 771 message across

Hi. I have an HD DVR and I set it to record a couple of series (Modern Family, Big Bang Theory and a few others) and set the option to "first run". (I actually set that to be the system default.) Anyhow it records the repeats. I looked at the discription incase there was something strange there, but

Alright, this happens to a lot of shows i record, randomly, i set a show to record, and then later i realize a show that was only supposed to record for an hour records for a random time like 9hrs and 47 minutes. this happens to a lot of my shows and it gets in the way of other recordings, any help?

When there is space open, our Tivo records things we do not program.  Many of the shows recorded are in Spanish.  While we don't mind the unprogrammed recordings, is there a way to make sure the language is English so that space is not wasted?

My wife records several series. I didn't set up the series recordings so I don't know what she did wrong (?), but: when a show that's set up to record the entire series begins to record, it records on both the HD channel (intended) and the non-HD channel (not intended). Of course, this doubles the b

Have an HR22 dvr, most recordings work fine.  However, when a show is on multiple times it records each one separately.  For example, channel 312 has Martha Stewart show at 12:00 pm and again at 1:00 pm.  Even though I only set one to record in the guide, when I set it to record the series I get bot

When I program a series to record new episodes it records on channels I don't have in my package even though the same show is available on subscribed channels

My R15 records repeats even though I have set the Series Link to only record First Run shows. Level 2 tech support seemed to have no idea this was a problem, yet I have read on other website this is a widespread problem with these receivers. Has anyone had this problem and has the new software C8 up

NEW system, HD - DVR whole house. When I setup to record a series "first run" only, it records every show in the series including repeats. I have setup "first run" as my default and then again in each specific series that I try to record. Still does it.

If a series show was on more than once per day the dvr would record the earlier showing, now it records at a later time-why?

In my DTV Stream, I record a number of shows and they stay there till I either delete them or after the proper amount of time, they delete themselves. I record Fringe on HLN. For some reason it is only allowing about 30 records and then deletes last one and records new one etc. I also watch Fringe o

HR44-500 Main Satellite Receiver Box was unplugged for a short period. Since then, my system continually records programs that I have already recorded, viewed and deleted.  Example....I have been recording a program and viewing it for years.  I view them and then delete them.  Ever s

I have an HD20 and when I create auto records such as:Keyword = UCLACategory = SportsSub Category = FootballI get a listing of about 20 showings. Most of the showings are on stations I don't get. I have to go into each one to find which I actually get. These channels have been removed from the curre

Our DVR constantly does not recognize programs that are currently on the guide. The program could be on the prioritizer for months yet when the show is on, it doesn't record. I've noticed it's not any specific channel nor any specific show. And when it does record a show that we have a "season pass"

DVR default series recording can be set to first only record ALL but it only records 5 and changes my default back to Both record 5.  Whats wrong with the recorded?

I have a Genie-II and have set my "Typical Recording Preferences" to 'Episode Type' = 'Only New Episodes'. I would expect that this records ONLY the first version of an episode of a program, no matter what channel it's on and as long as it's on a channel I get.  However, each day I see multipl
