Crossword Scramble!

I'm not certain, but it looks like the episode of Merv Griffin's Crosswords in which I appear will be pre-empted by Southern California fire coverage.

HOWEVER!

I just received word that it did just air in New York!

If there's anyone who DVRed the show and can e-mail it to me (or put it up at a secret location for a while), I'd love to grab a back-up copy that I can burn to VCD just in case it doesn't show in Los Angeles. That way, I can still have something to show at the party.

I can absolutely relate. It's on my DVR and I can burn it onto a DVD but I don't know how to e-mail it or put it on a secret location.

I just got home and haven't watched all of it yet but I see that part of it was pre-empted for news about the fire but it was before you came on the screen.

Read this article and pick the service you like.

My computer tends to choke on that kind of software and I don't know what kind of file my DVD recorder would record it in.

Okay, one of them doesn't look too bad...let me see what I can do...

It wasn't pre-empted in Boston -- the first one of the two in the block was pre-empted but not yours (or if your episode was the first, it got bumped back).

(I'm assuming folks reading this might want to remain unspoiled, so I'm not saying anything about the show itself).

And we don't have any way to get it off the Tivo, alas. :-(

I'll just say the haircut looked good, you spoke loudly and clearly, and I was happy to see they now give the last names and locations of the spoilers.

I'm in the process of transferring it right now. I'll keep you posted off-list.

Please let me know, too, I can't figure out how to do it.

My husband has successfully gotten shows off of our Tivo, compressed them and put them into the proper format for posting to You Tube. Here's one, which is part 1 of a very early MGCW. Check out all my other videos from that page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge1U4AHkUeo

I will ask him to email you the instructions if you'd like. You can contact me at nshack@yahoo.com

Thanks, but I don't have a TiVo...unless his method works for all DVRs.

I'll ask him if he knows how to do this with other DVRs.
