|
|
Hello:
I was looking on the Internet for several days to buy a combo dvd/vcr but read from some opinions that they break easier. So I decided to buy just a plain vcr, and wonder if anyone knows at this time (they change so frequently!) which brand and model might be a good one?
I noticed most of them don't have the AUTOMATIC commercial skip. Anyone knows which brand/model has this particular function?
Thanks so very much for any opinion. Adela _________________ The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites, or women for men. Pulitzer Prize Winner Alice Walker "The Color Purple" |

By the end of the year vcr’s will be extinct. DVD burners have come down in price. A good vcr? Walmart $49.95. Walmart is talking about phasing the out before x-mas. I haven’t see auto skip in about a year. I know this isn’t going to help because I hate combo units but get a cheap say Toshiba combo –R and get your tapes to dvd. |

Thank you, minnie, for your opinion. Then, my best bet would be to get a cheap combo and transfer my tapes to DVDs, and then to get a good DVD recorder? It makes sense if the VCRs will be extinct!
May I ask you something about a DVD? Will I be able to tape from my NON-digital TV to DVD discs in the same way as I did with my VCR? (I like to tape several programs daily). Do DVDs have commercial advance, preferably automatic? Also, will I be able to do time recordings, and is this easy to do?
This is all so new to me...Thanks very much again! Adela _________________ The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites, or women for men. Pulitzer Prize Winner Alice Walker "The Color Purple" |

Yes. You can program them the same as a vcr! |
