The ClubHouse: Archives: Question about taping Survivor...help please!!:
Archive through March 27, 2002
Nessietessie | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 10:19 am     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  |
Jeep | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 10:36 am     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! |
Judy | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 10:40 am     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!!! |
Judy | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 10:41 am     OMG!! ROFLMAO NEVERMIND_ I AM AN IDIOT!!! |
Nessietessie | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 10:56 am     Thanks Judy and Jeep....I think???? Now I am more confused! 7 or 9??

Tksoard | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 11:28 am     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!!  |
Tess | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 12:27 pm     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!!! |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 05:33 pm     Go with TK's suggestion. Tape 6-10 p.m.

Car54 | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 06:03 pm     This thread has me totally confused. Get Weinermr to tape it for you. |
Weinermr | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 06:26 pm     I'd be glad to tape it for you Nessie. Let me know if you'd like me to do that.  |
Car54 | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 06:38 pm     <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! |
Hippyt | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 07:04 pm     This thread cracks me up!!!!!!! I'd be knocking neighbors doors with blank tape! |
Llkoolaid | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 07:35 pm     I would tape the second week for 3 hours 7, 8, and 9. Better yet forget about survivor and enjoy your cruise. |
Moondance | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 07:42 pm     I tape all the epis if you ever need them |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, March 21, 2002 - 11:06 pm     <eyes Llkoolaid and wonders how she will look wearing tar and feathers>

Seamonkey | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:30 am     I have 10 hour tapes.. Maxell.. have found them at Blockbuster and Sav-on. |
Tess | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:39 am     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. |
Llkoolaid | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 04:13 am     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". |
Carolinakisses | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:50 am     Nessietessie, I'm going a cruise too. (Easter Week) We might be on the same one. |
Jeep | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 06:00 am     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................. |
Nessietessie | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 11:51 am     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! |
Weinermr | Friday, March 22, 2002 - 03:48 pm     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. |
Tbear | Tuesday, March 26, 2002 - 11:34 pm     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... |
Nessietessie | Wednesday, March 27, 2002 - 11:35 am     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!! |
Resortgirl | Wednesday, March 27, 2002 - 02:59 pm     Weinermr did an excellent job taping an episode during our cruise! I highly recommend him! LOL! And I still owe him a present (I haven't forgotten about you Weiner!!) |
