We have two s-VHS machines but rarely bother recording with S-video tape as it is more expensive and the broadcast quality, even on digital satellite, rarely has software quality justifying that expense. It also means S-vhs tapes are not compatible with the general run of other recorders.Against that, the electronics in S recorders are generally superior to the rest and IMO this justifiees their added cost AND does give the option of making the better tape if the broadcast quality justifies it.
I have heard mixed reports about JVC reliability and have settled on National/Technics recorders. They are not perfect but we have had a good run out of them and use them daily for time shifting, avoiding advertisements and short circuiting waste of time on programs which end up unappealing.
The future for temporary recording could lie with hard drives as the prices of them keeps falling and their capacity continues to rise. However it will be interesting to see how the DVD-R units evolve.
Interesting times
