DirecTV HR34 User Manual page 51

When recording a series, the Episode Type gives you the
option to record first run only, repeats only, or both.
The Keep at Most option lets you decide how many episodes
you want to keep: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or All. If you select "All
Episodes" for a show that appears many times in the guide,
you may find it uses disk space rapidly.
The Keep Until option lets you keep a recording until you
delete it or until the disk is full, in which case the DVR can
delete it automatically if the disk fills up. A recording that
is labeled "Keep Until I Delete" will never be deleted until
you do it manually. If all of your recordings are labeled
that way and the disk fills up, no new recordings will occur
until you manually delete some of your "Keep Until I Delete"
recordings.
The Start and Stop options let you adjust the times of your
recordings to ensure you don't miss a thing. Keep in mind
that starting early and ending late on all of your recordings
may create more recording conflicts than if you started and
stopped on-time (according to the program guide schedule).
If you find a particular series runs habitually late or early, it
is better to adjust that series using the program's Info screen
rather than set the recording defaults, which would affect
all of your DVR recordings. Press MENU, select "Manage
Recordings", then select "Series Manager". Select the
program you want to adjust, then select "Series Options".
