I'll let you all know how it works tomorrow night.. If I remember.

Ok well.. it's technically not "tomorrow night" but here is the status.
:p to Jess. I still remembered.

So, Friday I taped the feed from Einstein for opening ceremonies and then Galileo for the rest of the day (Thanks to my Mom for doing that while I was at work!) off of laptop to VCR but I forgot my S-Video cable doesn't transfer sound when not connected to an S-Video port and only RCA Video.
So for Friday I have all video of Einstein, and Galileo minus sound.

Friday night after spending an hour fiddling with my Dad's VCR and pressing this button and that button and setting up a tape to record NASA TV it finally worked for the next day..

NASA TV basically switched from field to field, and it was timed almost perfectly, when a match finished a new field came up. Kudo's to the operators of the Broadcast! :cool:

Saturday however, not only did I have the NASA TV tape running at Dad's house, but at my Mom's house, I had the S-Video set-up, but this time I got smart and ran the headphone to RCA sound cable out of laptop and into VCR to make sound.. w00t!!

So, not only do I have (8 hours) of NASA TV broadcast on Tape, but I have a direct feed from Real Player to VHS tape for all off Galileo's Elimination matches, and some of Archimedes' and Galileo's finals matches, and then Einstein's Awards and finals matches.
But I missed the Chairman's Award and the other big awards cause I ran out of tape.

All in all a rather successful taping endeavour, and a great learning experience.

<Hey, I had to keep myself busy Saturday so I didn't go more crazy than I already was for not being in Atlanta... >

I will tell you though, it got kind of quiet around the house when that 7:00 time came and the web-casts went blank.
Maybe next year someone can stream the team party too??

And the pits???

I don't know, maybe I am asking too much. But then again, if you don't aim high and ask for a lot then nothing will ever change. :)

Holy cow I spent 15 minutes typing this. :ahh:
