Am I the only one who can't spring forward & fall back

VCRs easily?
I can set the clocks easily enough; now that the US of A is on a different set of dates than when the VCRs were built, I always have them on manual around this time of year anyway. I do not trust how the time signal broadcast from the local PBS station will interact with their old-daylight-savings schedule programming if I set them on automatic.
No, setting the time of day is not the problem. Problem is that I will be out of town this weekend, & have 1 overnight program that may begin at 11:30pm Sat (usually its on later, but the station its on has ceased access to its schedule on its web page, even though for pity's sake its a TV station web site, & TV Guide no longer does overnight schedules either) & Sunday Morning on CBS is on, well, on Sunday morning. So if I change the times before I leave tomorrow early I have one dilemma, if I don't I have another.
I'm sure the lexic among you do not find this hard, but if I don't change the times before I leave, should I program Sunday Morning, broadcast at 9:00am Eastern Daylight Time for 10:00am, or.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh
I won't even be here to read answer, though.
I generally schedule a 5 hour time block for the period ReGenesis usually is broadcast within. So I won't just catch the end or just the beginning, either followed or preceded by too much Star Drek.
