Bow to me. I successfully programmed a VCR/DVD!
It took about 6 hours and about two nervous breakdowns, but I accomplished the impossible! I even set the VCR clock and programmed it to tape at certain times!:woohoo:

This is only until I can get TIVO or a DVR, but my god...whoever made this so complicated should be taken out and shot.:crazy:

3. I think it's way more annoying than complicated, but then again
some of the vcr's I have had were really complicated. And a couple that used to live near me had a military vcr. That's what they called it. This was long ago, like in the 80's. It had an actual section where you could program it to pick up scanners and weather bands. It was the weirdest thing I had ever seen. I managed to program it for them to pick up those things clearer. I haven't seen one like it (or even close) since.
