To avoid this in the future, you can change settings for recordings that you've set to occur in the future, but haven't recorded

If you recorded a DIRECTV CINEMA movie or Pay Per View event, but did not watch it, the time which you are allowed to
purchase or watch it may have expired. To avoid this in the future, check your Pay Per View recordings in the My Playlist
screen for expiration dates.
Q: I've set up a series recording. Why do I get a bunch of reruns and multiple copies of the same program?
Your DVR is getting full of duplicate recordings of the same program, or old episodes of the chosen show.
Possible Causes:
Your series is set to record both First Run and Repeat episodes.
The programmer may not provide enough details in the program description for your receiver to determine whether the
program is a repeat.
Solution:
When you set up a series, make sure you select only the "First Run" option. This is the default for one-touch recording unless
you have changed your default recording settings.
Q: Why can I not see DIRECTV menus and screens on my TV?
Why do I see a message that says, "This TV or its cables are not HD. To see screen graphics, press the
RES key on the front of the receiver until this message no longer appears".
When the receiver resolution is set to 720p, 1080i, or 1080p, DIRECTV screens and menus ("user interface") will not appear on
Standard Definition (SD) outputs. A message is displayed to notify you that the resolution setting needs to be changed.
