Unless you are watching something else (and only have the ability to record two shows at a time, while having to watch one of them, like I do w/ my DVR), I have found that it works to record a minute later than the scheduled end-time. That way, it can get all of Community, for instance, on one recording, and still catch the beginning of Parks & Recs on another recording.semicolwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604533314088789936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-76312971868388008552010-03-05T10:12:16.002-05:002010-03-05T10:12:16.002-05:00If this episode had just given us vampire Abed, da...If this episode had just given us vampire Abed, <i>dayenu</i><br />Or just Don Draper Abed<br />or the beg-gel cold open<br />or Abed quanitifying the elements of Jeff<br />or Abed/Troy as Bert/Ernie*<br /><br />*except that all of the NBC thursday show run a few seconds into the next show, that the tags are always split across separate recordings.<br /><br />I've recently had that bagel/beg-gel conversation with someone who similarly mispronounces the word.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206260167586222129noreply@blogger.com
