Are you still using VCR?	Can't Post

With the rapid changes in electronics the use of VCR has reduced drastically in the last decade or so and most of the people are now using CD players and DVD players instead of VCR and I am also one of these people. Do you still use VCR?

I have to use on as far as getting surround sound out of regular TV channels, When I ever watch TV which is almost never.

I moved apartments about 7 years ago, and again 2 months ago. The tapes I'd boxed up prior to the move
7 years ago remained boxed until this recent move. I've now opened them and are going through them.

My daughter still has many tapes with content not available on DVD, so for now we're still using VHS.

I kind of don't understand if your asking me something or not,,, I do have a slew of VHS that my ex had left, but I don't really watch any of it.

Yep, I alternate between VHS, DVD, NetFlix and You Tube while I work, which is almost constantly. I repaired VCR's back in the 80's, and still enjoy messing with them and not overly concerned with picture quality as I mainly listen while the movies are playing anyway.
