I have several show that I have the first showing recording; however, at times I come in and I'll have eight shows recorded and there will as many as 20 episodes of eight shows that have been recorded. What am I doing wrong? It bugs the heck out of me.

What show/channel?

The TV networks are responsible for the Guide data that the DVR uses to know if a show is "first run" or not. Some networks are sloppy with that information or don't provide it all. The DVR then errs on the side of caution and records each airing.
