Keep only a "maximum" number of episodes of a program in the DVR
I set my DVR to record "Everybody Loves Raymond," and now it's nearly full of nothing but -- because it records every occurrence of that show, which is heavy syndication. I'd like it to keep only, say, the five most recently-recorded episodes. I'm about ready to stop recording the show to avoid this problem, but that's no fun. Wish it were not an all-or-nothing feature. (And I like the suggestion of recording only NEW episodes, but that would not apply to a show like "Raymond," which no longer has new episodes.)

Hi Wilson – Thanks for providing this suggestion. This is something that is on our roadmap. This is great confirmation that this feature is needed!

Another feature that should have been available on rollout. A year and a half later and nothing. Poor service if you ask me.

I don't think the HGTV app is a realistic solution. Let's get this feature. I don't want to download 15 different individual channel apps.

Thanks for the suggestion. In some cases that works. However, it only works to the extent that 1.) the channel has an app and 2.) the app includes the shows that I wish to record. It allows the app to choose the number of recent shows whereas I would prefer that choice.

What channel does it come on? If there’s an app for that channel, like HGTV. You go to the app, select the show you want to watch and it only shows the last few recent episodes rather than recording every episode.

Any update on this topic? I am a recent subscriber to the service. This is one feature that may cause me to switch to another provider for television. I understand that with the streaming service there are recent episodes, but the recordings are a better experience (ability to fast forward through commercials). I also have the same issue with older shows. I would expand on Wilson’s comments and suggest three, five, ten, 20, and all (current format) as an option to record.
