Thank you for your link but this does not correct the long standing (other searches from long ago) problem that Cox no longer offers a specific station when recording a series new episodes only.
So, for example, if I record Blue Bloods and say new episodes only it records the Friday night 10 pm correctly when it is a new episode, but when a lesser station starts showing all day shows of re-runs (may be new to them) it records all of them all day. Now also it is happening with "The Neighborhood'..Very frustrating having all these re-runs being recorded. In today's day and age one would think Cox could fix this issue or at least put back the option to select a specific station for new shows only.
- @OldBob2, when setting up a recording, you should have an option that says Channels. When selecting that option, you should be able to move the options left/right and choose between hd/sd/and the "only this channel" option. This will prevent the dvr box from recording that program from other channels. -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.
There is NO "only this channel" anymore here in CT--that is our problem
