Thank you

BTW I would have asked at an elevtronics group but most appear
dead.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic. Any leads would be helpful.

Hmm,
You need a manual to operate a VCR? Or do you have a problem?

actually a obsolete device, like a buggy whip

note a DVR is now affordable, easier to use, and far more convenient.

you cant start watching a program recording on a VCR till its finished
recording.......

with a DVR that easy and just one advantage, no tapes to mess with.

On an hour show there are usually 21 minutes of commercials.

I've found 15 to 19 minutes (except on PBS, where it's 4 to 8).

And remember if you have an HD DVR and record a lot of HD shows, your
rated recording capacity is about half of the advertised.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the commericals are more frequent than
that in the past few years, even on network TV. I can't watch anything in
real time anymore, except football, and the commericals are terrible there
too.

I'm often editing video (from Replays) to remove commercials. There
are more commercial breaks in new shows (including one just a few
seconds before the end of some).

You mean a Digital-cueing Visual Resonator. Yeah, I want to get me
one of those, so I can have MCR, mutual cueing resonation.

A couple of points- other than for geeks with PC-based setups, or a few
people with old gen-I TIVOs, DVR = monthly cost for subscription to
signal (and usually rental of hardware). Does anybody even SELL a box
with OTA tuner, hard drive, and DVD burner any more? I haven't seen one
in several years. Even hard to find a box with OTA tuner and DVD burner,
at least in retail stores. The entire industry assumes everyone is on
cable or satt service, and uses the vendor's damn box as the signal
source. ****es me off a little.

Second point- VCRs were pushing the geek skill set for many people (one
reason DVRs became so popular so fast.) Any multi-box recording setup
that requires practice to set up and use, ain't gonna happen. Almost
like for stereo geeks in the late fifties to early seventies. Act like
you are going to start flipping button on their techno wall, and watch
their head explode- it took them hours to get it set up 'just so'.

Dishpal DVR doesnt burn discs but is a pretty full featured DVR for
OTA applications. the guide isnt a full week for all channels, its not
name based recording either.

but its a very easy to use standalone digital tv recorder and the hard
drive can be upgraded, records 2 channels at once

no subscription needed, by the box and the guide is free

i believe the problem is a simple one, those with satellite or cable
care much more about tv, and the proof is they spend money for it.

while those on regular antennas, havent been exposed to all the
glitzey features like DVRS that satellite and cable push because it
helps make their subscribers stickey and far less likely to
cancel...........
