Recording Episode of a show visual feedback

Where is the simple visual feedback to users that a specific episode of a show is already set to record.  Record light, red dot, check mark, tiny R symbol, anything?   Looked but cant find it.  I can't remember which ones are set to record so I go to the show and set it to record again and nothing visually changes?   Where should I be looking?  Do I need a software update.  I just installed the new streaming device and it said it got the latest firmware but this firmware is not very friendly so far.  New is understandable but unergonomic or un-intuitive is usually just poor UI design.  Must be some of the old AT&T guys still working there.  :)

Hey @DCSTRATO. Episodes that are scheduled to record will show a red dot next to the program name. Please try restarting your device by briefly pressing the red button.
