It took us a while to program everything, ended up downloading the codes. The nerd in Mark has all these different things set up so it can be confusing to actually use the VCR.

What I do like about our system is that to record is just a couple of clicks of the remote. The downside is the sometimes the programing is off, I think it is more the channel's fault than the system.

Our local NBC station is going HD in February. That should spoil me big time.
