    They physically remove the VHS tapes in order, and place another tape back in and hit the record button manually. Then write the dates on the box with a sharpie and put them in the rack to save for backups. The tapes only hold 8 hours so they have to swap them 3 times a day, which ends up losing about a minute a piece.
