When you choose to record a TV series, you'll see the Record options pop-up box. It will present two options:
- Tap Just this episode to change the options only for this episode.
- Tap Series recording to change the options for all future episodes in this series.
If you tap Just this episode, you'll see recording options for just the current episode. If you tap Series recording, you'll see recording options for all episodes in the series.

- Keep: Keep all recorded episodes or keep between one and five episodes.
- When to record: Record only episodes that are broadcast in the timeslot for the current episode or record episodes no matter what time they're on.
