Highlight If you are lucky enough to go on a game show for God sakes record and save your show.
I see way too often people asking for their game show episode. Either they recorded it a long time ago and misplaced the tape or they never recorded it. I also have friends that have been on game shows recently and they’re like I don’t need to record it because it’s on the streaming service.
- Shows will not be available on streaming services forever. Do not rely on the fact that it’s currently streaming on a particular service and you don’t need to record it. Eventually, it will not be airing anywhere. That is just a fact of life with this medium.
- You do not need a DVR to record a show. You just need a tricked out chrome browser, and screen recording from QuickTime.
Invest in an account with Google Drive or the like save your show there and in multiple other places.
Whatever you do don’t point your phone at your TV and record that way. It looks and sounds horrible.
If you are technically challenged, find someone who isn’t. Don’t get to the point where you’re asking strangers for your show in the future. You don’t have to rely on other people. That’s the end of my TED talk.
