paddy Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 And by have one I mean connected to your tv so you can actually use it, not just shoved in the loft. I reckon if I'd asked this 10 years ago, maybe even 5, then I reckon 90% would say yes, now I reckon it will be a lot lower. I don't, here I have a DVD recorder and a hard disk thing that can record freeview. Up in Leeds I've got Sky+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 10, 2007 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2007 Sky+ and a dvd player, cant even see the point ina dvd recorder tbh, rarely do I want to record a TV prog or film forever. I do have a VHS somewhere in the attic but its probably broken and totally engiulfed in dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yes, still have it, still use it as I have loads of old videos and would take forever / cost a fortune to download all the films or get them on dvd. Obviously anything i get now is either downloaded or on dvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Bought one about 3 years ago because I was working away and didn't want to miss the Sopranos. I recorded one episode and have never used it since. I wouldn't mind but it wasn't cheap! It's still under the telly, next to the Sky+ box. I use it for the clock!

Onelinedrawinguk Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I still have a VCR but rarely use it. It's just incase i want to watch anything from my ever deminishing Video collection (i've slowly swaped my VHS for DVD version and currently only hold stuff that isn't available on DVD) I don't use it for recording either as you can get most stuff off the interweb anyway.

paddy Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 cant even see the point ina dvd recorder tbh, rarely do I want to record a TV prog or film forever. Re-writable DVDs Bicks, you record on them just like a video, but obviously navigating through them iss a bit easier as you can jump to the start of things you've recorded, delete whole programs, don't have to find a space etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villadevon Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I remember paying £450 (ouch!) for a "nicam stereo" one 15rs ago, just so I could hook it up to my Hi Fi. I also remember kicking it to pieces when it chewed up an important tape a few years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Ive got one, part of a combi with a DvD player. I dont think i have any VHS cassettes in my house though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I've still got one but this thread has made me realise I probably haven't used it for about 2 years but for some reason I still have it sitting under my dvd recorder. I still have the odd thing on tape so until I convert them onto dvd I suppose I'll still keep it but its doubtful I'll ever use it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetcorn Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I live about 2 miles from a massive car boot sale - so I can pick up vhs films for 50p a go! Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-writable DVDs Bicks, you record on them just like a video, but obviously navigating through them iss a bit easier as you can jump to the start of things you've recorded, delete whole programs, don't have to find a space etc etc. exactly. get with the times, gareth! :winkold: I have both re-writable DVD's and the record only knid. If i know there's a filem etc that i will want to keep i'll use the write once only DVD. simple, and easier to navigate through as Paddy says than a VHS. The only thing i hate about modern digital (freeview) broadcasting is that the signal cannot be trusted (especially in my area for ITV/C4 stations). Constantly breaks up for no reason. Not good when burning a once only DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc443 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I've got sky+, dvd and video. acually I've got 2 video players. They're still handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Got onte and still use it. Mostly to record Villa-games when I can't watch them like this seasons opening game when my cousin has decided to get married. Who the f**k gets married when the PL has started? Plus that I have my favourite Villa Season review on VHS and I still watch that one quite often. :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted July 11, 2007 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2007 V+ here, as well as a combi HD recorder/dvd recorder in case I want to copy something off. Although feck knows why as I never use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this represent an advantage over sky+ Like I said, I rarely want to keep something forever and my sky+ records the progs I want, when I've watched them I delete them. Not convinced I need one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
