Re: VCR record/play with digital tuner

I'm ready to replace the old VCR, but I can't find a VCR with a digital tuner. There are VCR players, DVD recorders with a VCR player and digital tuner, etc., but all I want is a simple VCR with a digital tuner to replace the analog unit. I just assumed (yes, I know the old saying) that this would be easy. Any one know of an inexpensive unit that works ok? I will eventually go with a PVR, but not right now.

Thanks,
Dave,


Here is what I did when I chucked the old broken VCR. I replaced it with a Panasonic DVD recorder/VHS VCR (older DRM-EZ47K)and record everything to DVD-RAM. Works great and you even need to turn it off after setting the timer just like that old VCR...LOL. DVD-RAM can be recorded 100,000 times and can also time shift like a hard disk recorder. Be sure to check them out.
