Recording from wrong channel

To stop unwanted recordings, go to the show's page in My Library and choose "Cancel series" to stop future recordings, @gulfbreezey. This will stop the app from recording new episodes, but it won't remove old ones.

Steps:
1. Open My Library: In the DIRECTV STREAM app, go to "My Library" or hit "List" on your DIRECTV remote if you're using a Gemini device.
2. Choose "Upcoming recordings" then look for the show you want to stop recording.
3. Click on the Show: Tap the show's title (not an episode).
4. Cancel Recording: Find "Cancel series" or "Stop recording series" and click it. This will stop all future recordings of that show.

Thanks for your input.  I don’t want the show to stop being recorded I want it to only be recorded by the original show channel (CBS). The problem is it is also being recorded on the Gameshow channel and those are all reruns and they air multiple shows each day.  I indicated only new shows when requesting the CBS recording buy all the shows on the Gameshow network are considered new.  I was hoping for someway to make the Gameshow network to go away.

Specific channel recording isn't supported at this time, but we'll consider it for a future enhancement. Charles, DIRECTV Community Team

Yes please do. Would be nice to be able to record a series by channel number like you can on Dtv Satellite. 

I’d think if the satellite version could do this they could easily figure out how to do it on streaming!!  Thanks for the comment!

I've been asking for this to be resolved for a year. Don't tell me anyone is actually considering it. When DTVStream added all those channels above 999, they created a huge mess. Game Show Network was bad enough. Now you have a LMAD channel, a Price Is Right Channel, and a bunch of other garbage that I DON'T WANT AND DIDN'T ASK FOR! Every other provide allows the DVR to select Only New Episodes On This Channel or In This Time Slot.

Perhaps if you used real programmers, you could get this done. 

At one point years ago I had Xfinity TV which I really disliked. But they had two good things. One, the remote and two, when setting up series recordings if the programming found it on more than one channel it would give you the option of picking the channel you want to do a series recordings on. That was a nice feature.

The other way to somewhat help with this problem, is to have an option to record from only your favorite channels.

Dtv Satellite has the feature to choose a channel to record series from. At least they used to when I had Satellite up until around 2017 with a Genie DVR
