Yes! I do! I still have a VCR, and a lot of tapes, mostly of TV shows (I taped ER every week the first few years it was on.)

I have a video recorder, but it's not connected to a TV at the moment. It's just sitting in a corner gathering dust.

Mine's dusty but that's more because I don't to clean it very often :lol:


There's a few places around where I live that still sell used VHS tapes at good prices-and there are some good deals to be had.

I have lots of rare TV programmes on tapes. I can't be bothered to transfer them to DVD etc.

If the quality of the tapes isn't that great,then it's not really worth transferring them to DVD,plus,a lot of the classic shows are becoming available on DVD. About 14-20 years ago you could get sets of stuff that aired on PBS(Public Broadcasting Stations here in the U.S. home of informational programming) on VHS and they were pretty expensive. Now, everything is on DVD and there are some good deals to be had if you know where to look.

No I'm a DVD guy, I did have a VCR when I was 10 though. A bonus is my PS3 doubles as a blu-ray player.
