Preset Recording doesn't always work

I have certain series set to always record but many times I have to go in and reset the record manually. Why?

This can be due to programming changes on what channel the show/movie is on. Which shows do this specifically? What service do you have, DIRECTV STREAM or DIRECTV satellite?

There are most definitely no program changes involved. This happens on DirecTV Satellite and happens on Sunday evening PBS Masterpiece and PBS Masterpiece Mystery. I have had to check each and every week for months because it failed to record several times in a row. So I do check and usually it does NOT show as set to record but if I hit the record button then it pops up with the "record series" logo.
