CBS - Big Bang Theory

I scheduled CBS - Big Bang Theory to record the new shows this past season. Why are some of the shows showing I have to have CBS ON DEMAND? It’s not even in a particular order, just here and there but mostly the beginning of the season. I scheduled the DVR to record all first run shows. I shouldn’t have to pay to watch what should have recorded the way I scheduled it in the first place.

It depends how you set up the Series Recording. If you use SmartSearch, you'll often get a mix of both satellite and OnDemand channels, from any channel that airs that show. It's better to setup the Series Recording using the Guide .... find the channel/show/time that you want and press RECORD on your remote twice to setup a Series Recording for just that channel.

I do not recall how I set it up. Does that mean we are out of luck on watching the Last Season of Big Bang Theory that we have watched from DAY ONE!??? 😱😭

CBS decides if you have to pay to view the more recent episodes of Big Bang Theory via their OnDemand channel. 

You can probably catch it during summer reruns.
