VCRs,do you still use one?

I still have a VCR tapes but I'm using my DVD player more and more. Some video stores have phased out their tape inventories. DVDs would eventually lose ground, too, as pay-per-views, online movies and TiVos become more popular. I think it's better because you won't have to keep your stock of tapes and DVDs anymore.

Hello, darthdub and welcome to myLot. Yes, I stil have VHS, but I don't use them as much now that there are DVDs. In fact I think I like VCDs better than VHS tapes. I have two VHS players and one DVD/VHS player. It is nice to have to play the tapes from time to time because I don't feel like buying the movie on DVD :). Have a nice day. Pablo

I still have one because it's managed to last through the years. It's good for watching home movies and disney tapes. DVD players tend to break faster, but they're so cheap these days that lasting a year is long enough. I prefer DVDs though because they just seem crisper, cleaner, and easier to use. Unfortunately for those that prefer tapes, a lof of films don't come out on VHS anymore.

We probably use our VCR more than we do our DVD player as a lot of my the movies my son likes are ones we have on Videos. Mostly if we buy a new movie though it is now always a DVD, but when we tape something from the t.v to watch later it is with the VHS so we probably use that more than our DVD player. I imagine though as our DVD's stock up and start to out number our Videos that will change as videos will evantually be phased out I assume. Though I have to say I don't notice a great deal of difference in the quality when watching either a DVD or Video but I suppose its the slimmed down more advanced look and the newer technology that will win out in the end. What was that song....Video killed the radio show. Welcome to myLot by the way.

I have a DVD/VCR combo player but i use the dvd player all the time cause we only rent/buy dvd movies now. Tapes can get dirty overtime and so with the tapehead and it's a pain to clean unlike the cd that you can just wipe in a snap.

I also use vcr from time to time. i record shows that i missed when i am out of the house. In fact i have 2 units. One in the living room and another one upstairs. I also use them when i am watching something while recording another show which occurs at the same time slot.

Well i don't use VCRs anymore but i do know that if vcr has too much of dust the VCRs will spoil yea so do clean it up every now and then yea .

Yeah, I definitely use my VCR a lot more than my DVD player like that other respondent said. I record things all the time and I still have some tapes that I watch. I saw a new DVR machine that I want to buy, but it costs like 6 times as much. But, I think, eventually I will have to buy one of those machines because it's getting harder and harder to find tapes to record on.

I can never give up using a VCR because there are some movies that I love that are exclusively on VHS. At least I have not seen them on DVD. I would still keep my VHS, they might be worth something sometime.

We Have A Dvd/Vcr Combo But We Use The Dvd The Most. I Still Have Vcr Tapes For The Kids To Watch Every Now And Then But We Don't Buy Vcr Tapes Anymore, Just Dvd's. But Now That I Think About It, The Vcr Tapes Have Lasted Longer Than The Dvd's. We Are About To Upgrade Because The Dvd/Vcr Combo Has Been Giving Us Problems.
