Series Recordings

The DVR feature is definitely missing some (many) desirable usability features.  Despite requests, there’s been little improvement since the DVR was added some 6 years ago.  We don’t know if they disagree with the feature requests or if they just aren’t springing for enough development resources to create them.  We can always hope, but it’s been a long time…

WRT your specific issues:

1. A recordings manager is one that’s been long requested.  In the meantime, you can use the “Upcoming Recordings” button on the My Library page to show recordings scheduled within the next 2 weeks.  However, it only shows individual recordings - it doesn't indicate that the recording is part of a series recording. Also, if there are no episodes of a series upcoming within the next 2 weeks, nothing will show up there.  To deal with those problems, some people set a bookmark on the series to keep track of series recordings. Once you know the series to look at, you can go to the series page, which will show that a series recording is set. Not a great solution, but mostly workable. 
   
   
2. When you reach the end of a playback, it offers the option to delete.  At points in the past, you’ve been able to FF directly to the end, but recently I’ve noticed that it would stop the FF a little before the end and require you to sit through the last 30 seconds or minute to get to the delete option.  No idea if this is intentional or if it’s a bug.  And yes, a way to just delete easily without having to reach the end would be nice, but right now this is the best we have.

I bookmark my series recordings then you can find them in "my library"

Thanx for your responses. I cancelled my Spectrum cable service last month, and returned a cable box with ten year old technology, and that box had a saved Series section! It bogles my mind why the DTV tech/development team missed this feature. We can only hope they will fix this soon. 

Again...bookmark then --then they show up in a list. Same thing just called something different.
