recording stuff I didn't set to record

recently my dtv stream device has been recording show that I have not set up to record. for example I have baseball games and TV series recording that i did not set to record, a single episode or series. I check upcoming recording and it's full of stuff I don't want. I delete the stuff and a few hours later they are back, what could be causing this?

I'm still having the same issues after a year, I have also contacted tech support and they only thing they say is to change my email address and password to the account. After telling them there is only 2 people that use my account to record stuff. so after 5 different email changes, I'm now out of email address, and dozens of password changes, I'm still having the same problem with recordings that I did not set to record and every day I have to do it upcoming recording and delete 100s of programming that I didn't set. I was also told by tech support that it's ok that programs record because I have unlimited cloud storage.

This is interesting.  I should nave qualified my response with the fact that I have Directv Satellite. 

So both the satellite and streaming services have this bug?  Uhh, does anyone see a pattern here? :)

What possible technical justification could there be for the condition that you must change your email account?

The only response I got from tech support was it will fix the problem, which it did nothing at all! But get this I can still login to my account on other devices using the old email address and password. Plus we only record 3 different show and they are set to record new episodes only!

This has been happening to me for months (in 2023!)! I’m the only one uses the DTV Satellite (and has a password before you ask). I’ve gone into my “recording manager” and these specific shows are not reflected there! 
Further, I then reviewed my series manager and two of the three were set up to record FUTURE seasons. I reluctantly deleted those  to hopefully stop the insanity, however, it’s still recording them!! The others are NOT reflected anywhere! 
There has to be a bug in the system somewhere. I have not called CS yet as this silliness is just not in my daily chores!!

You need to post in the satellite forum.
