Recording TV programs

[dantheman123]

Whenever Im at home watching TV, I record them on VHS tape "Just in case"
Does anyone else do this?

[4getmenot]

No. And just in case what? How many VHS videos you got :-) I always have a video in just in case 2 programmes I want to watch are on at same time

[Sooper]

Me neither! Thats a bit odd isnt it?! Or am i missing something?!

[Postdog]

Only if I'm tired and likely to fall asleep, which isn't that often.

[sunflower68]

No. How odd! Do you know then, how to video shows and NOT watch them at the same time? We have Sky and have never quite mastered it.

I always do this as well - just in case we have a power-cut and the television go`s off.

[dantheman123]

Thamk you for that Spaced. I record them just in case theres anything I want to watch again. If there isnt I just tape over it.

[beejaybee]

Just incase the phone rings/ you get disturbed I suppose. I`ll press recored IF I get disturbed during an interesting programme.

[trakcab]

Just in case their cr@p you can play them back when your out

1 in a Million... surely if you have a power cut and the tv goes off.. the video will as well???!!

I quite often record documentaries and films (in case I want to keep them if they are good enough). I usually record the two-hour episodes of things like Morse and Frost and Miss Marple so that I can watch them for a second time immediately afterwards so that I can understand more of the convoluted plot or spot some of the clues. My method of guarding against interruptions from phone calls is sometimes to put the subtitles on (page 888) and turn the sound down so that I can continue to half-watch and half-listen to the phone.
