I'm switching from DIRECTV DBS to Stream and have an issue hopefully someone can help me with. I set up a series link for Saturday Night Live on KXAN (NBC Austin) to record NEW showings. The service is recording that showing but it's also now recording every SNL program that's on channel 4310 SNL Vault. I also have an issue where a local news program that's repeated later on a different channel is also recording both. Is there a way to have it record a SL only on the channel that you set the series link for and not from any other channel that the program might show up on.
 
Simple answer…nope
But since there is no limit on recordings or capacity it isn't a big deal. I have a few shows that are like that.
Just make sure you have it set to record just new. Yes some shows are old (like SNL) but say new.

I have it set to record just new but it thinks that all the shows on the SNL Vault channel are also new so it's recording all of those.

I just looked at mine and the first episode on the SNL streaming channel to record is this Saturday. It may update by then but no shows this week will record. The date on those shows (SNL channel) says 3/1/22
I look at my list more of what for sure will record. The programs I want it to record. Like I say there is no limit of simultaneous records at same time so not worried. During college football season I record all the games so there may be 15 recordings going at same time.
Note that Directv Stream updates programming info constantly. Not like satellite once a day.
