Recording a series

We want to record new series shows only, but all are recorded, old and new.

Sorry, not possible. Whenever the DVR sees a series title matching something scheduled in your Series recording, it automatically records the program. This is a feature many are hoping for in the future so I’m sure it’ll come soon enough.

There is certainly an option, when you set up a series recording, to record only new episodes. This should pop up when you select to record a series, but the format varies depending on which app you use,

However, the system isn’t very good at figuring out what is new and what isn’t, so in many cases it will record unwanted episodes.  That’s been a problem for years, and we have no clue why they’ve been unable to resolve it.
