Stop on-demand from coming up next

If I'm watching a particular series, and I get to the end of one episode, it'll prompt me for the next episode.  But for some series, the next one might not be the next recorded one, but the next one that's on-demand, which means no fast-forwarding and sometimes wants $$$!  How do I set it to only show recorded episodes?

You use the guide to setup the series on the channel and time you want by pressing the record button twice.

I see what you mean. It tries to play the next available episode that’s on demand but if you didn’t record that episode it starts recording it for you when you hit play so then you can’t fast forward it. I’m not sure if there’s a way to stop it from doing that, but when that happens just hit cancel and it will take you back to your recordings and then just manually pick the next episode. Will look into it further though. If it’s a show like Ridiculousness that plays random episodes in no particular order all day every day it would be kind of hard to record the entire series, but I guess that would help.
