I just had to pick the start time, the end time, and the channel the VCR need to be on to record. If i wanted to be fancy, I could pick the tape speed as well. VCR did the rest, as long as the time was correct (but really I just recorded for a minute or two on either side.)
Program guide was always in the sunday newspaper as its own booklet or in the daily newspaper.
