On a semi-regular basis we find that the "My shows" list on our TiVo V6 appears to add dozens of our season links that have episodes available via catch up to the list dated with the current date so they appear in front of all our recordings - almost all of these are irrelevant and are old episodes that we've already watched. This makes find the programs we actually want to see difficult.
Is there anyway to stop this?
Past episodes of programmes should have past aired-dates, unless they're "re-edits" which some broadcasters have particular form in.
I'll wager your series links are set to include "recordings & streaming videos" in their config. That's easily changed to include "recordings only".
Feel free to post up your SL settings with some specific examples, I don't mind trying to replicate if the issue isn't immediately obvious.
Forum TeamThanks for your post on our Community Forums deshepherd, and welcome back!
Can you please confirm if you've been able to follow japitts advice to resolve this issue?
Referring to the "wager" referred to, I'd also advise that this does sound the likely reasoning for this frustration.
Switching the series link to "Recordings only" will instantly remove any streaming episodes from your "My Shows" menu.
Thanks,

Yes, that did seem to be the issue - looks like all our season passes have set up to recordings+streaming videos by default. This has only seemed to have started to cause problems recently (i.e. last year or so) when I assume old seasons get re-added to the streaming database - but we now get regular (every 2 or 3 months) instances where suddenly the first 9 or 10 pages in "my shows" are all streaming seasons!
I have found a partial solution in that on the "my shows" options I can select "Recordings" as a filter and then that only displays the shows which contain recorded episodes (ie filters out all the ones that are streaming only) ... however, it still looks like it uses the date of the last streaming episode in the sort order and it seems to be that this may be linked to a database update date.
Nb as we've had VM TiVo since it was first available (had had the standalone TiVo before that since that came in so have been usign TiVo for about 25 years!) when I checked I discovered we've accumulated 750 season passes so its going to take sometime to sort them all out!

That's exactly what I was suggesting in my previous post when I said "That's easily changed to include "recordings only""
