Title: ESPN Telecast
Post by: fabes on November 07, 2004, 10:44:54 AM
Missed the show today, and forgot to set the recorder. Anybody know if and when ESPN will have the show on again? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
fabes

They usually have a recast on ESPN2 on monday nights around 8 or 9 PM Eastern time.

Hope that helps.

Great, thanks guys. It is league night, but at least this time the recorder will be set.

Bob7,
I have various tapes that I have kept. Some with significant games,  tournaments and favorite stars. Have Norm Dukes' and Bob Learns' 300 games. Many of the tournaments that Walter Ray has won. I guess I am a bowling junkie. Every once in a while I pull one out and watch it. Although the last year or so, I have been doing exactly what you do, record, watch and re-record over it. I better watch for tape burnout too.

Most people don't realize that tapes have a finite life span. Even one that doesn't get played will go bad over time. Toss a box of VHS tapes into your garage, attic, or anywhere else with wide temperature fluctuations and they WILL go bad just sitting there. How fast they go bad depends on the quality of the manufacturer. The adhesive that binds the magnetic material to the tape gets brittle, and you begin to lose the magnetic material. First they get "noisy" video. Eventually, they get so bad they won't track no matter how good your machine is. If you have something you really want to keep "forever", transfer it to a quality DVD and store the DVD properly.
