The ClubHouse: Archives: Question about taping Survivor...help please!!: Archive through March 27, 2002

We are leaving on a cruise in two weeks, which means
we will miss 2 episodes of Survivor.
I have taped all the shows this season
and last season, to review after watching it after it is aired.
My question is: It comes on here in the east coast at 8 p.m.
For the April 4th episode, I can set my vcr
to come on at 8.
However, for the April 11th episode, we will be
on daylight savings time, and I will not be
here to change the vcr clock.
Do I set it to come on at 7 p.m., or 9 p.m.?
I keep on getting "confused" when I try to
figure it out!!
Go Gabe, Tammy, John and Zoe!!!
Get otta here Sean and Rob

Nessie - just remember: Spring forward, Fall behind. It'll be one hour ahead in April, so 7:00pm will actually be 8:00pm. Set it for 7.

Have fun on your cruise!

Don't we 'Spring forward'?
- and if you aren't there to set your clock-
Then 9PM will really be 8PM-
So set your timer for the second episode at 9PM.

BON VOYAGE!!!

Nessie, the tape is probably a 6 hour tape, so I would set it to record both times, and maybe even a few more to be sure. Have a good cruise!!

Nessietessie, both our VCR's automatically switch over to Daylight Savings Time. Yours might also. Do you still have the manual or can you take a look at the options? I think on ours you find that option in the same place where you set the clock. We will be having the same problem as we'll be on a road trip from April 1-14. I also got the newer 8 hours tapes so I can tape more shows. Both vcrs will tape up to 8 different shows. Good luck!!!

<see Nessie, Weiner is one of the only ones around here who really knows how to work his VCR>

car- who went to college for 6 years and can't get her VCR AND her cable box to talk to each other!

I would tape the second week for 3 hours 7, 8, and 9. Better yet forget about survivor and enjoy your cruise.

I have 10 hour tapes.. Maxell.. have found them at Blockbuster and Sav-on.

Hey, I know how to work both my vcrs!! I just know from being gone at this time other years that they switch automatically, we don't have to figure out time zones.

Ten hour tapes, Seamonkey!!! Let us know how they hold up. I'm leery of my 8 hour tapes since the tape is thinner but the longer the tape, the easier my life is.

Bring on the tar and feathers, I deserve them, I have got up and walked out of meetings to be home in time for survivor and my excuse was ( gotta go, survivor is coming on). Some people rolled their eyes at me but others said " oh right, let's get this over with".

Nessietessie, I'm going a cruise too. (Easter Week) We might be on the same one.

LOL! After changing time all my life, you'd think I'd know this! Now I'm not so sure! I'm with TK, get a long tape and record the whole evening!

Now.....if the clock says 7:00pm and we've already changed to Daylight savings time, then it would be.................

You guys all crack me up!!

I have a few 10 hour tapes too, and several
8 hour tapes. I have to set them for Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Third Watch!!

Oh my, yes I will enjoy the cruise, it is a biggie!! Carolinakisses, maybe I will see you!

But I can't forget Survivor!

I do not want to miss when Rob, the CLODfather, gets the heave ho, or when Sean,
the angry, but funny man who hears Kunta Kente music, gets his fire put out.

weinermr, you are just too sweet, I feel you all are like family, I read you every day!

I'm glad you're covered Nessie. Enjoy your trip, you will have a great time! I'm glad you won't miss when ROBHEAD gets ousted.

Nessie, They'll have tv's on the cruise-like that's what you're going to want to do on a cool cruise....LOL! You sure got everyone talking, thinking, and nice offers on this subject.

You've got it figured out as to what you are going to do now so go and enjoy your cruise...

fyi, from my calculations and my worth is: Since we will have already sprung forward 1 hour on the 7th and if you establish if your VCR, (like others mentioned above) changes automatically with daylight savings time, the show should air at 8pm, like usual for your part of the world. If your VCR doesn't recognize daylight savings time, then it would need to be set for 9pm. If the show was to air on the 7th, it still would be aired at 8pm as daylight savings time starts at 12 midnight.

Anyways, go have fun on your cruise, you lucky girl! The envious...

My mind can't process the time...LOL.
Is it 7, or 9?
You know what!
I am setting the tape to come on
Thursday, April 11, from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m.
No, tbear, I will not be watching Survivor
during the cruise!! I will be on deck,
sipping those cute tropical drinks with
umbrellas and dancing in a conga line to some
hot, hot, hot, tropical music!!
Talk to you all again, after April 15th!!
