Tape The Show Anyone? Pretty please!
TV ClubHouse: Archives: Tape The Show Anyone? Pretty please!
Ginger | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 06:21 am     Hey all you Amazing Race fans. So...I'm going to be out of the country through all of November and into December. In fact, I'm going to just make it back in time for the finale. I really want to see the episodes I miss, but it's too many shows for my VCR to tape in my absence. If there are any of you out there who tape the show each week, I'd be so grateful to loan them from you briefly (oh--and if you watch Survivor, I'd love to have that taped too!). I would send you a bunch of blank tapes this week, and I would return your Amazing Race/Survivor tapes back to you promptly after watching them (which I promise to do as soon as I get home!). Of course I'd also pay for postage both ways. If anyone can help me out, let me know and we can exchange contact information. Thanks! Sorry to start this whole topic just for this question, but I hope others can use it for tape exchanges as well. Ginger |
Draheid | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 07:10 am     Ginger: If you program your VCR to record ONLY TAR, you could use an 8 hour tape to get 8 weeks worth of shows. These are usually called 'T-160' tapes and are available at most Wal-Mart stores. That should give you enough recording time to get the episodes you will miss. Possible glitches would be a scheduling change, preemption, or power failure. Or if they decided to do a 2-hour show one night, you might miss the 2nd half. Good luck. I hope this helps. |

Jag2000 | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 08:45 pm     Ginger, Let me know if nothing else pans out for you and I will send you my tapes when the show is over. Just e-mail me. I don't know if you can get my e-mail from my profile. Just let me know. I sent 4 copies of the BB1 to people and they sent them on to a ton of other people. Glad to help out. I would be very unhappy if I missed these reality shows. I double tape. |
