Recording First Run showings only

When I select a Series I want to get only First Run showings. Instead I get not only the First Run on the local network channel but also the reruns on a channel like USA.  How can I set up only First Run showings?

Run Auto Program

The message to (2) Run Auto Program is showing on my screen. The TV was fine and then I looked up and the message was on with weak or no signal- (1) check antenna cable connection which I did. My remote cannot change anything. It’s like the tv is not recognizing the remote.
