You might check the website of your local PBS station. Ours (Seattle)
usually repeats NOVA segments at some ungodly hour of the morning just
so you can tape it.

Dear COlleagues:
   If anyone on the PHYS-L listserv made a copy of the NOVA program on 
tonight (2/21) on the neutrino could you make a copy for me on a vhs or 
could I send you a blank to copy one for me.  My vcr didn't work
properly 
and I missed it. Thanks in advance, I'll pay for the VHS tape and
mailing. 
My address is:
