Poll: do you have a VCR?

[amadeus]

I'm honestly surprised so many of you guys still have one!

If there's something on TV now and you want to watch it later, how do you record it?

Well now we have DVRs.

 

[choxorn]

We have one. I only use it to watch our VHS version of Star Wars Episode 1.

Why, exactly, do you want to watch Star Wars Episode 1?

Why, exactly, do you want to watch Star Wars Episode 1?

Because I enjoy it.

<gasp>

I have two; the "original", faithful servant, and a DVD/VCR combo. Came in handy for my movie marathon four or five years back: 4 days, 19 films.

We have one. I only use it to watch our VHS version of Star Wars Episode 1.

Heck, we still have a Betamax, and the first couple Star Wars's for it.

Which reminds me, I have to copy the Original Trilogy to disc before the Lucasrevisionists find me.

Yes I can record 200 hours on my PVR and record onto DVD if I wish to keep something long term

I have an old one in a tv that is in my basement that I used to play PS2 on.

That's...pretty much where ours is. In the basement, used for a TV that we sometimes play PS2 stuff on. Freaky.

 

[choxorn]

...Mine is in the same place as you two's. The PS2 has since moved, and I now use that TV to play Xbox 360.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

I actually just watched an old John Wayne movie on VHS today!

Natalie Portman high5?!

 

[Verarde]

Natalie Portman high5?!

eh? high5.

I since moved to a nice 37 inch LCD for my PS3. Skyrim looks great on it.

VCRs actually did have very good quality though, and my family filmed stuff using a tape camcorder all the way until 2006 or 2007.

 

[Ice_Tyrant]

Well, what we got, it's a VCR and a DVD player at the same time. I guess it counts though.

 

[Narz]

Shoot, I don't even have a TV. Haven't had one since '02 I don't think.

 

[Zelig]

If there's something on TV now and you want to watch it later, how do you record it?

I download it.

 

[GenMarshall]

Yes I have one and no I have not used it ever since DVDs came into the norm.

 

[Leifmk]

I download it.

Which reminds me of the sad fact that my laziness has developed to the point where I find it more convenient to search out and download a CD that I own a physical copy of than to walk over to the CD shelf and bring back the actual CD.

To answer the original question: Yes, we have a VCR but we haven't actually bothered to plug it in yet after moving a year and a half ago. (We haven't plugged in the DVD player yet either.)

 

[Quackers]

eh? high5.

Meh, shes attractive and nice to watch in films.
