View Full Version : Wanted to sample this show so bad and now it will not happen
TVFactFan 08-21-2012, 02:47 AM I see it comes on at a bad time during the busy TV season which is 8pm on Antenna TV. I will be watching football and thought I could record the show and watch on Monday but I can't do that because
1. I don't have a DVR
2. If I record it on my second TV then i will lose internet access
So I have to hope it stays on the schedule until 2013 so I can see it then because it's no way I will be able to see and that sucks.
Antenna TV is a good channel but they have poor programming schedules. Why not air this show during the week in primetime over a NORMAN LEAR show?
Mr. Television 08-21-2012, 07:28 AM I don't understand why BM and Benson aren't on weekdays either. I'm glad they're back on tv but Sunday nights is a bad night for me. I have a DVR and VCR but they're hooked up to my main tv which doesn't get Antenna TV so I'll have to wait until 2013 too.

How do you lose internet access by recording it on the 2nd TV?

Yes sonny, we are diehard football fans and never in "sitcom mode" on sundays from sept to January:lol:
TVFactFan 08-21-2012, 02:37 PM How do you lose internet access by recording it on the 2nd TV?
Because the comcast box only has 2 spots in the back, one for cable and the internet and if I want to record from the 2nd TV I have to hook up the smaller cable box which means I have to disconnect the connection to the internet.
It's no way for my main TV, secondary TV with cable boxes and the internet to all be connected at the same time.

Does the cable from the comcast box connect to your tv with a single cable or with red/white/yellow cables?

Both

You should be able to record and not lose internet access.
Run the audio/video cables from cable box to the input of your dvr/vcr then run another set from the output into the tv.
turn the tv to line 1 or line 2 and that should do it.
The same set-up should work with a coaxial cable, just turn the tv to channel 3 or 4.
You can also combine the 2 if you don't have an extra set of a/v cables or another coaxial cable.

I lose internet access because the comcast modem only has two inputs for the cable and internet. So that's why I have to unhook the web to connect the OTHER comcast box to record a certain show

Does the modem have an output?

Just looked at back of the modem and it has
spot for the ethernet cord for the internet
spot for the cable
spot for a USB
And that's it
So that's why I have to disconect the web because the cable cord that is connected to the modem, it's connected to a splitter which connects the cable on the main TV and internet.

Ok, thought for sure I could help. Hope you get to see Barney Miller soon though.

I will, at the end of Janaury of 2013:lol:
catlover79 10-16-2012, 11:12 AM Well, the series is on DVD in its entirety - I think most of the episodes are up on YouTube in their entirety as well. :cool:

Well let's hope it's still on Antenna TV in the spring
OH Nuts! 10-16-2012, 11:36 PM Soloman, I know your budget might be tight, but try to get a cheap DVD player. This way you could borrow shows from your city's libraries. They may have Barney Miller. Maybe a great sale will come your way in November. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I'm going to try and sample it on youtube this weekend
LeeBlue 10-30-2012, 11:01 PM My local library has the first three seasons of Barney Miller.
..
One librarian said the older sitcoms are very popular..
..
when their budget permits, more will be purchased.
..
So good luck in your area!
