Somehow I'm going to have to remind myself that my VCR is programmed for the OLD Daylight Savings Time changes. This past weekend it "fell back" an hour and I ended up taping Ellen instead of Days of Our Lives on Monday. I knew right away what happened! I quickly changed the time back to "normal" and set it to tape the episode later on Soapnet. Now I've got to remember the change it back when it the new change is!
Did you have to change things back to normal last weekend because they're set for the "old" schedule?

OMG! I was wondering why my VCR was an hour earlier..LOL I had to reprogram the time as well since my VCR automatically changes the time. I mean I was really puzzled since I was up late and watching TV and looked at the time on the VCR and thought Oh, it's earlier than I thought..then looked at my clocks and like huh? I'll have to remember now to reset the VCR AGAIN this coming weekend.

It took me a while to figure out what button to push to get to the time on the darned thing! Then I had to reset it again yesterday when the power went out. I think I might remember in April when I have to do it again...

Nothing else changed for me, just the one VCR. I just have to remember that it's going to do that since I had forgotten from last year. Yeah, it happens twice a year, like I'll remember it in April!

Yeah, that's when it starts here too, but my VCR is older than the new times so it switched this weekend. I have to set it to not change on it's own and then remember to manually change it when it's supposed to happen.
