Programme VPS/PDC is a system of telling the VTR when a
programme actually starts. Typically, when you want to record a
programme you will tell the VTR to start recording, probably, five
minutes before the advertised starting time of the programme and to
finish ten minutes or so after the programme is due to finish. So even
if the programme starts early or finishes late you will normally still get
to see what you wanted to record. However when live programmes
over-run or the day's television schedule is changed from that
advertised, you may miss the desired programme which may have
been delayed or even cancelled and the VTR will record the
programme even if it is two or more, hours late. With VPS/PDC, you
enter the exact start time and the VTR will wait until the signal is sent
to confirm the programme is starting and the VTR will record the
programme even if it is two or more hour late.
