What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
I'm relatively new to the JBoard, so this might've been discussed before, but just out of curiosity, I was just wondering what time is Jeopardy! on in your area, and do you DVR?
Here in the Mobile, Ala. area, it's on at 6pm and I DVR each episode, watch it later that night.

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
J! airs at 7 in San Francisco, but it comes on about 6:59:07 I record it on my DVR using manual recording set ahead of time, but watch live with no pausing. During the commercials I sometimes will rewind to get the full category names written on my scoresheet, but I am back to live before the break is over.
As my DVR fills up I dub the J! games to DVDs.

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
I just started using a DVR about a year ago, and J! comes on at 7:30 PM here. From about 2003-2007 it was switched to a 4:30 time slot in my area; that stunk.

The map I use as my avatar will provide information. It is a map of the time Jeopardy! is on by market.

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
Since it airs at 4:30 and I work until at least 5, yes, I DVR. Usually delete it immediately after watching, but lately there seem to have been a lot of discussions here about the exact wording of questions, so I've been saving them for a couple of days.
We also have a rerun that airs somewhere around midnight on Sunday nights.

DVRd when I lived in Chicago and it came on in mid afternoon. Now in the NY area, I DVR only if I expect to be out since it's on at 7 pm.

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
I always DVR the 7:30 show in my area and binge watch later in the week. I very rarely watch live as I am able to fast forward through the boring parts and ads. But I do know that Aleve is the main sponsor.

7. I always DVR both J! and Wheel, after a few too many instances of something coming up that resulted in me not being within access of my TV at the 7-8 hour.

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
I have had a DVR since the day after Super Bowl XXXV in 2001, and have DVRed J! ever since. Even if I'm in right front of the TV at 7:00, I will delay watching until about 7:10 so I can fast-forward through the commercials.

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
7:00 and I DVR, not just because I work in the evening but also I don't watch live tv as I like to fast forward through the commercials. I watch the show at about 2:00 in the morning after I get home from work.

7:30PM. I record the show on my PC then convert & transfer to my tablet to watch later at work (on break, of course).

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
7PM. I still live in the 20th century and I would have to tape it on VHS tapes, but usually don't because I've found that I rarely watch what I've taped. So I miss it more often than not in the summer, but I'm pretty good at catching it most of the rest of the year.

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
It was on at 7:30pm in Michigan, where I grew up and in SW Ohio, where I lived until September.
Here in eastern Iowa, it's on at 4pm. When I got The Call, I made arrangements with the campus library that they would switch one of the TVs in their cafe over to Jeopardy! at 4 so I could come down and watch when my schedule allowed. After I won, I spent a little of the money in advance to buy a TiVo, so now we can just watch it after work.

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
The map in floridagator's avatar might provide us the ability to answer a question that has occurred to me before.
In some places, Wheel of Fortune is on at 7:00 and Jeopardy! is on at 7:30. In other places, it's the other way around. (And then there are some places for which neither of those is true.)
I grew up watching Jeopardy! on Seattle-area TV stations, so I grew up believing it was normal for Wheel to precede J! Then when I moved to New Castle County, Delaware, and started watching J! on a Philadelphia station, I discovered that J! was first at 7:00, followed by Wheel at 7:30, which I thought of as "backwards".
If some of us really wanted to take the time to add up the population of different regions, we could quantify which is the "usual" way.
According to the map, it looks like both New York and Los Angeles show J! at 7:00, so maybe the seven-thirtyers in Seattle and Detroit and DC are actually in the minority. Who knows.

I watch Jeopardy! at 7:00, and I unfortunately do not DVR since our family does not have DVR capabilities.

Re: What time is Jeopardy on in your area and do you DVR
I watch on KARE Minneapolis, first run episodes show at 4:30, and daily repeats of the show from a year ago (minus one day so that the days of the week line up) air at 11:30 am. Like TPH, I DVR whether i watch live or not (actually, it's a combination hardware/software device that hooks up to my computer that lets me watch and record TV since we don't have a DVR (so if we want to record something and watch it, we have to do it on the computer rather than the TV)) since, even though I'm home now all day after losing my job 3 months ago, I find it easier as that way I can zap commercials, or if I'm doing something else during air time. (When I was working, of course I'd have to watch the recording.) Plus, even if I watch "live" like I do sometimes (although I still have the DVR going regardless), I have to watch on the computer anyways, so I can use my Jeopardy scoring sheet while it's running to track my Coryat.
