How many of you besides me still have VCRs in your Home? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 02-23-2006, 12:34 PM

I currently have 3 VCR's in my home. I use one for the Internet and the other two for my tv collecting hobby. But I am starting to see that most people don;t even have VCR's in their home anymore. So who has VCR's in their home and who just has all DVD players?

I have a duel deck Vcr in my home.

Moonlight Lady · 02-23-2006, 12:45 PM

I still have one. It's used mostly to transfer stuff to DVD.

I have a VCR in my room-- I use it for the collection of tapes I built up before I finally went modern and got a DVD player. So I use both

vashti1999 · 02-23-2006, 12:48 PM

In my home: yes
Does it get used: barely

Ireneparalegal · 02-23-2006, 12:49 PM

I have a dual deck in my bedroom, a dual deck in my living room and my daughters' vcr player finally gave out after five years (they don't make 'em like they use to); but they have a dvd only player in their room. I have the dual players because I had the camcorder where you had to put the tape cassette in the adaptor and then play it in a vcr when you want to watch the tape. We have a new camcorder but I don't know how to work it. I still like to use the old one. I am too busy to learn how the new one works.
BTW, does anyone know if you can have those "cartridges" from the old camcorders transferred to a DVD disc?

James"Thunder"Early · 02-23-2006, 12:54 PM

Yes, 2 of them

I've got a dvd/vcr combo in the living room, and a vcr in each of the bedrooms. One of the VCRs is about 100 years old though, and I wouldn't trust it to tape something I care about. I've just been too lazy to pitch it.

Chocoholic · 02-23-2006, 01:11 PM

I still have the 13" TV/VCR combo that I bought for my college dorm room back in 1999. Call me cheap, but I figure that as long as it works, I'm keeping it.

We have a DVD player too.

JeffRuss1972 · 02-23-2006, 01:48 PM

I have a dvd recorder/vcr combo and an older vcr in my bedroom. Still have stuff on vhs that I like to transfer to dvd and also still FINDING stuff on vhs that I transfer. So I'm not getting rid of the vcr yet-lol

swedeace · 02-23-2006, 01:54 PM

I have two VCRs in my apartment, even if I only have one TV. They are both DVD/VHS combos, but one of the DVD players does not work, but I am keeping it for the VHS (if I have to dub or something) because the recording on the VHS is superb.

Anyway, I plan on sometime in the future getting a TiVo. A friend of mine has one, and he has told me all the cool things it can do, so I am sold on one! I would still keep my VCRs to watch my DVDs and my VHSs in my TV collection.

D.J. · 02-23-2006, 01:58 PM

I have a DVD player in my living room and a VCR in my basement.

Dumballa · 02-23-2006, 02:00 PM

Steve M. · 02-23-2006, 02:03 PM
