You need to catch a Delorean to the present.
FORGET DVR, that is not the appropriate replacement for this dead format.
Recordable DVD is.
A DVD recorder (sony) can be had without a tuner at Walfart for 145 bucks, handles dual
layer discs(8 gig)
Want to time shift? Get one with a tuner like I did, or record off of the line input from a
cable box, which I also do.
ANY VHS tape you have will gradually disapear, so will DVD but they are a lot more robust.
Record all of your VHS to DVD and toss the VHS.
THE BEST VHS will be sub NTSC, in other words sub CRAP.
AND when you finish replacing your decaying VHS collection there are a few other new inventions you might want to consider.
Like a CELL FONE.
Cars with fuel injection.
Microwave ovens.
etc
Gee, your so funny and did not help a bit, as usual. Just have to put your wise ass comments everywhere, huh?

If you read my original post you would have noticed that I said nothing about a VHS collection.

What Sony told me is what I already figured out to do before I ever posted or emailed them...set the date to a year with same day/date. Where was your useful suggestion?

Why a DVD recorder? Don't you waste a disk every time you want to record something? All I want to do is record to watch at a later time and then record over it for the next time.

While I am busy contemplating all the new inventions, you may want to learn how to spell the word "Phone".

Thanks for no help.
