I must say though that the new feature of "recently watched shows" that you can get by clicking on the up or down arrow is a pretty good new feature. Still wish for the old software though.
Hi Jimmy,
I agree with this issue about the new guide. I am going to try the Series options tonight for Sportscenter and see if I can get it to filter to one time only. I will post back if I find the solution!
You are correct, the new guide must show a series as "New" in order for "New episodes" to count and repeats to not be recorded. What the guide needs is a Manual Recording feature where you set up a show and channel to record a show each day at that time, and on that channel. I am going to check for other timing options. For Sportcenter you would need to look for an option. (if it exists.)
ESPN Sportscenter-Record Series
Save All Episodes
Record (Designated time slot only )
Correct, setting episodes to "New Only" won't doing anything because Sportscenter has no new distinction in The Guide. The older SA-model boxes, as slow and sluggish as they are, I recall could do the example above, even though they did not have manual recording.
For reference this is the New Guide. Navigator 8.0 in TWC Legacy Markets on all modern boxes.
Recently Viewed is an AWESOME feature!

Update,
On my box New episodes of Sportscenter are recognized in the guide. Select Record Series and than under the options use the arrow keys to go down the list and the left and right arrow keys to select "Record New Episodes." Than select how many episodes you want to keep? Make sure for the channel that ONLY ESPN is selected and none of the ESPN sister stations. Now, only new episodes of Sportscenter should be recorded.
Note that this question should be in the Equipment forum as you are talking about the cable box. Spectrum TV.com is for the website and the applications associated with that functionality, such as Remote DVR Manager.
