For the 400th time... there is no "NEW" flag like on whatever Tivo interface you're used to. To see if a show is new, look at the first aired date as instructed earlier. Not all shows have this information provided.

This information is not from Directv, but from Tribune. If you like Tivo, get the Directv TV Receiver, not a Genie. Hutch1814, do you still have any beer left from like three days ago. When all this started...

First aired: today's date = new
First aired: NOT today's date = not new.

If the information is not provided, it can't know. But it could be something else.

Again: What shows/channels are you trying to record? List off several, that way we can look and see if we can help. That is, afterall, what you came here for and what we want to provide.

Genie is an HR34 and is strictly a Directv High Def DVR. A TiVo is an THR22 and is a TiVo/Directv High Def DTV. The THR22 (TiVo) is the same software and platform people have used for years from TiVo. The THR22 (TiVo) is completely different than the HR34 (Genie)

Sometimes the information in the guide isn't correct and the dvr will record something it shouldn't or doesn't record something it should.

I don't know anything about FIOS. You should post that question in that forum.

I have had a HR34 for almost 18 months now and the only time it records a non first time recording is when
-there is no episode date
-I have it set to record all
-if its a new recording that you have just set up. sometimes the previous shows (like within the last week or so) will record to "get ya caught up" on episodes

I dont have any issues recording new episodes....and have a bunch of series set up

If there is no episode info it will record it REGARDLESS of setting. If its set to "First Run", "repeats" or "Both" it will record it
Pretty much all my shows are set for "1st run only" except for a couple older shows that do not have any new ones so I record the reruns of it ;)

I don't know how much simpler to explain it....click on the thumbnail to see it bigger. Then click on the pic to blow it up full size

Ring of Honor wrestling is on twice a weekend here in Minneapolis. Its the SAME show both times (Saturday night and late Sunday night). As you can see in the 1st pic there is NO episode info and at the bottom it clearly says "all first run episodes are set to record" yet the 2nd pic you see all 4 shows are set to record....again due to NO EPISODE INFO

2nd set is American Restoration. Again just first run episodes are set to record. 3rd pic shows a first run date and its not set to record. 4th pic has NO episode date and its set to record even though I've seen that episode a few times. It is not a new episode yet due to no date it will record

I've explained it enough (as have others) and even showed pics. Don't know what else to tell you
