We set a bunch of dish passes so the shows would record automatically. Some of them were set to record all episodes but now we want to change it to new only. Is there a way to do this besides deleting the whole dish pass and do a new one?

you need to go to daily schudule, delete the show you want to change.
then reeneter the show with just the new.

I take it you are talking about a DVR.

Yes there its under timers if you select timers then the program you can then click edit and change it so that it can go from all to just new.
