Can you get me a VCR Plus code? (nothing to do with mhg83)

Although this thread has nothing to do with that wacky muff eating and cock loving guy I think it is important for everyone.

I go to vcrplus.com and punch in the coordinates.

It gives me the code O. That's not right. I had this same issue last time I tried a few weeks back.

Can you see what you get or tell me a better place to get these codes?

Trying to tape AMC on Sunday from 8-10 pm EDT for the Walking Dead.

Thanks for caring.

I am totally serious. Can you help?

This is not a joking matter.

No man, sorry. Only way I could help in this instance was to leave my sarcastic comment. Good luck on your quest.

VCR? Maybe you can call someone on your landline and get the code.

That's some kind of new-age euphemism, isn't it?

I have no idea if this is accurate or what it means. I just picked a random city as it doesn't seem to be available near me, but here you go:

Wow! Thanks! Not only did it work but it even put in the correct channel for me which is 24.

Can you try one more?

Monday, 2-20 from 9-11 pm on Bravo.

Who knew VCRPlus was still around. Learning that it is makes me want to buy 8 casette tapes for a penny with only 4 more to buy at the regular price.

Instead just put that info in for me and get an old fashioned thrill as the code comes up.

Towards the end of my VHS days I had a VCR that had VCR Plus capabilities. I could never figure out how the damn thing worked. I'm shocked it's still around.

Buford, how do you not have a DVR? I expect better of you.

Wait a second. Why isn't this in other? This is clearly a joke thread right?

There are still people with analog cable and VCR's?

Wouldn't it have been less work just programming the time & channel?

VCR Plus+ Codes will no longer be available in publications after May 2010.

What has prompted this decision?

Over the last several years, sales of Rovi's PlusCode-enabled devices have declined significantly. In addition, the number of publications providing PlusCode listings has steadily decreased as those publications transition into the digital age.

While VCR Plus+ has been hugely successful since its launch in 1990, the analog switch off and conversion to digital-only broadcasting has made it increasingly difficult to support this product from a technological standpoint. In addition, cable and satellite DVRs have effectively replaced VCR Plus+ as the recording mechanism of choice for most consumers due to the increased number of channels and data delivery options that are now available.

Given these large scale changes in the broadcasting landscape, Rovi will cease providing VCR Plus+ Codes to publications that have historically printed PlusCode listings, after May 2010.

Please note that certain publications may choose to continue providing PlusCode listings after May 2010, but they are not obligated to do so. However, users who wish to continue using a VCR Plus+ enabled device to make a recording may generate PlusCodes online using our automatic generator tool: www.vcrplus.com/p-code.asp

Perhaps I should just e-mail you the code? Go ahead and send me an e-mail to either of these addresses:
