- I am reposting this article because in the previous post the lines
- were greater than 72 characters. I've already received a response to
- this article and if anybody is interested feel free to e-mail me.
- I apologize for the inconvenience.
-
- I just got a VCR Plus device (@Fry's in LA for $28.88) and think it's
- the greatest thing since sliced bread. No, I am not VCR illiterate.
- It's just that I have an old VCR which does not have on-screen
- programming.
-
- I am new to this newsgroup and I have been trying to figure out how
- the VCR Plus codes are derived?
-
- My inquiry is purely academic. I don't intend to invent my own device.
- I've tried to determine if there is a consistent pattern, but have
- found none.I suspect there is some sort of encryption. I have also
- noticed that prime time shows on channels 2-13 have codes with the
- fewest digits.
-
- I was told by a helpful netter in rec.puzzles that this newsgroup has
- been down this line of inquiry before.
-
- If this query has already been answerd in a FAQ, let me know where I
- can get it or e-mail it to me. If this is the wrong group for this I
- apologize and point me in the right direction.
-
- Thanx
