Programme VPS/PDC is a system of telling the VCR when a
programme actually starts. Typically, when you want to record a
programme you will tell the VCR 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. With VPS/PDC the VCR
will wait until the signal is sent to confirm the programme is
starting and the VCR will record the programme even if it is two or
more, hours late.
