paulrickardsFinally, an easy way to program my VCR to record. 🙃
Marcin Wichary@paulrickards oh my god. Flashbacks to TV guide magazines having something like this next to each program.
Irenes (many)@paulrickards oh wow VCR+ codes. that was ... that was quite a thing. wow.

@paulrickards why not just get a Macintosh TV? (Yes, I know why…)
Scott Small 🇨🇦@paulrickards Oh wow. I remember when my dad replaced our old RCA VCR with a Sony model in the mid-90s, and Mom was excited that we could use the VCR+ codes in the TV guide to record shows instead of having to manually put the time periods in (she’d occasionally make errors).
I haven't seen this app before, was it for the Macintosh TV? Or for a particular model of TV tuner card?
@smallsco Neither, I think it was just a utility someone made to encode/decode the VCR+ numbers for an actual VCR.
You can find it here:
The Macinthrope@paulrickards I actually used this program!
@macinthrope Me too! Was so much easier than programming it manually.
jack68k@paulrickards @smallsco There's so much nostalgia jammed into one screenshot I can barely stand it
Grant Hutchinson@paulrickards Combine this with Couch Fire on your #NewtonOS device and you’re golden.
