Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I have a few VHS movies and archived culture things, but as few as possible.

I never liked the limitations of VHS, and I couldn't wait for DVDs to be launched. I love Blu, BTW.

My main complaint about consumer VHS, besides the poor quality (on anything other than a small screen) is its [un]reliabililty. I dunno what I'm gonna do when my JVC S-VHS gives out. Pray I can get it repaired I guess. Knock on wood - so far it's been trouble free, but it doesn't get as much use as the DVD player. I keep it hooked up to the 27" CRT, as that's the ideal display in my house to watch tapes.

Like Jack, I have some movies and other material on tape that are not available on DVD. So I nurse my machine and keep my fingers crossed. I'll probably transfer a few of my dance/opera and movie tapes to DVD, just to preserve them. PQ will still be poor, but at least I won't lose them.
