That's something I can check out. The possessed VCR is set up in a VERY heavy entertainment armoire, and I'd almost rather live with the problem than try to pull the thing away from the wall to swap out the VCR with a different one.<br /><br />Sunflower, my experiment might not have ruled out a neighbor's VCR entirely. My other VCRs are different brands, so if a neighbor's remote control could have somehow programmed my living room VCR, the signal wouldn't necessarily have been compatible with the other two.<br /><br />Holly, that's a sensible solution. Now, if I can only remember to do it.<br /><br />Sister-Three, I think you'd like "Ugly Betty." It would help you teach your young students that beauty comes from within.<br /><br />Mike, I know. My daughter has been telling me that for months.<br /><br />Cindi, if it makes you feel any better, it used to take two of us to watch a DVD at my house: one to handle the TV remote, the other to be in charge of the DVD, carefully choreographing which buttons to push when.<br /><br />Holly, is your problem with TIVO the little bar thingies, or does it record inappropriately, too? I'd be REALLY annoyed if I spent the money on TIVO and had the same problems.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-26527913166382959592007-01-25T21:23:00.000-06:002007-01-25T21:23:00.000-06:00Mike, My TIVO is possessed!

It has been a long time ago but I think it did have something to do with closed captioning being turned on but it didn't happen on every channel. <br /><br />I think your vcr player and my dvd player are both possessed.Cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144735115800668574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-4544815715039025612007-01-25T08:53:00.000-06:002007-01-25T08:53:00.000-06:00It's time to buy a Tivo.It's time to buy a Tivo.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02233465085998331063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-88549993839222710802007-01-25T06:22:00.000-06:002007-01-25T06:22:00.000-06:00Velvet, Holly is so smart.

You could always just make sure you pop the tape out when you are done. Good luck with that!

But I thought it was pretty clever of you to think that a neighbor's VCR might be affecting yours and then rule that out by using your other VCRs.<br /><br />Let us know if you ever figure it out.

I get those when the captions are screwed up. I'm not sure why you're getting it if you don't have the CC turned on. <br /><br />Have you tried switching the VCRs? If a different one doesn't record, it could be that the possessed one has something wrong with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
