Sigh. It turns out the other VCR did bite the dust in the power surge, but in a non-obvious way: it has signal, it has all its usual programmability... it has everything except the ability to actually move a tape. So I guess I'll be dubbing Twilight Zone off of the Enterprise tape each week, because I'm anal about keeping my tapes sorted.

On the bright side, I figured out how to dub tapes tonight. And on another bright side, I'm not sure the dubbed tape will be of lower quality than what the old VCR would have produced. (Seeing the end of last season's Enterprise while cuing up the tape for tonight made it really obvious that the old tapes don't look so great on the new TV.)

Well, at least you aren't seriously considering making a database to keep track of which episode of Babylon 5 is on which tape... (Or is that a measure of geekyness, rather than anality? Is anality a word?)

I recorded Enterprise also last night. I'm not sure how it came out, since I'm using an antenna in NYC (which has become more problematic without the transmitters atop the WTC). I've been following Enterprise... but with farily low expectations. So far it's surpassed them, although it is still nowhere close to ST:TNG in my book...

Twilight Zone

I didn't know you still needed Twilight Zone episodes, or did the tapes I made turn out to suck?
