Lana SearleHOST
For me, it was the feeling you felt when you got the TV Guide out and you had a Mitsubishi Black Diamond, which was the VCR recorder.
Lana SearleHOST
where you could enter the code that was attached to, say, Shortland Street in the TV guide.
Lana SearleHOST
That's right.
Lana SearleHOST
And if you punched that code in, it would perfectly start to record that episode when it was playing if you weren't home.
