Note: The following is a confession of the least technologically advanced 25 year old princess of all time. Don't ask me about patch panels, I can't even get my VCR to work.
I have been waiting for a new episode of The Office since last fall. So I was devastated when I had to leave the house a half hour before it started. First I tried to set the timed record thingy (yes that's the technical name) on my dvd/vcr combo but I kept getting a blue screen. So I grabbed the tape went to another VCR & put it in, tried to record something, rewound it, made sure it worked, turned off the TV.
Fine no timed recording, I'd just record from that time on & let the tape run. I yelled NOOOOO when I realized that I'd turned off dish network when I turned off the TV. Fine, I turned the TV back on, put it on mute & told no one to change the channel or turn off the TV. I left the house secure that The Office would be waiting for me when I returned. I got home, rewound the tape & was confused to see old episodes of the Gilmore Girls. Turns out I didn't rewind the tape. Now I know why people shell out the money for tivo or a dvr.
