New setup - not all shows can be set to record?

New install and user here. Things seem to be working, so I’m in the process of adding all the shows from my old DVR to the Plex DVR Schedule. Every show I search for shows up, but some (maybe 1/3) of them do not offer the option to record. I’m trying to set up “New Airings Only” in anticipation of the upcoming season. My theory is that if there’s no instance of the show in the next 14 days of downloaded EPG, it won’t let me set up a recording… even though I’m interested in the next new show, which won’t be in that 14 days. Is this really the case? Is there a way to override? The next best fix would be to wait until < 14 days before new shows start airing, and try again, but I was hoping to get everything set up before I hand the system off to management (spouse).

Correct. Unfortunately you cannot schedule recordings of programmes which are not in the EPG.
