Do you still use a VCR?

[Danman]

Well, answer my question!

I was wondering this since Tivos are everywhere and DVDs are the main format for watching movies now. Now since they are coming out with DVD set top recorders, is the VCR gonna go?

 

[ScottyB]

I use it to record Enterprise while I watch Smallville on Wednesdays.

 

[LordJezo]

To record things.

 

[Yossarian]

Mine broke a month ago and I haven't replaced it. The only thing I was using it for was as an extra tuner for picture in picture, but I don't care too mcuh about that.

 

[bandana163]

Of course I do. There are not only series on TV. When I can't watch something, I record it.
DVD recorders are still darn expensive.

I have two perfectly good VCRs sitting on a shelf. Neither is even plugged into the power.

 

[Wallydraigle]

Yeah, my TV only has a coax connector so all my other stuff is connected to the VCR.

 

[nativesunshine]

yep.

my mom and I watch our japanese dramas that way.

 

[Lucky]

only for porn.

 

[oniq]

[Gunbuster]

TiVo

 

[StageLeft]

Yep, only to watch something if the DVDs are rented, though I try to avoid that.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Only to record things, but even then we have two tv tuners for the computers so we just record on that... before those, yes.

Yes. I have an old ass TV, so I need a VCR to be able to watch cable.

Movie wise everything is on DVD.
