Rogue recording on my Genie

[udogu]

I'll make this as short as possible. In the last month I've had to delete between 100 to 200 shows scheduled to record on my to do list. Shows on my seasons pass list that I have recorded and watched. Marked 1st run only, record 3 episodes only. DTV is, as usual no help. All these shows are either history, science channel etc. I heard here about 1-2 years ago that they have a DVR or had one that you hook up your old dvr to it and you can transfer your recorded shows over to it. I asked the tech about and of course they had no clue. My only other option is to disconnect my internet but don't you need it for channel schedules to get updated? Does anyone have an idea for me that I missed doing? It's so bad, last night I deleted around 15 "what on earth" episodes then another 10 or so eps.of another one then right after doing that there was another set of "what on earth" shows back on there!
One more thing. NONE of these on my to do list show a original date of broadcast like the channel guide shows or the other shows I have set to record. Thanks for your time!

You've identified the problem yourself. If the guide data does not include original air date, or any other info to identify the episode, the DVR will record them to make sure it does not miss any episodes. This happens with many of the syndicated shows that are broadcast on the minor channels, or on your locals outside the peak viewing time.

I noticed this morning on my series manager that not only do I have more than 1 entry to record a program like What on earth but a another entry for the same show down the list. I'm getting a new replacement genie on Tuesday that's hr54 and mine now is a hr44 any difference between the 2?

Hr54 has no RJ-11 port to display CID only difference

If you have more than one entry in series manager then you must have added the second, it's the only way it can get on the list.
The HR54 is basically the same as the HR44. It won't treat the recordings any differently, if the guide data does not tell the DVR that it has a previous original air date, it will record.

Well I fixed the problem (temporarily?) I cancelled the shows that were recording over and over and cancelled my replacement install because I would be upgrading so I would be stuck another 2 years.
