I absolutely LOVE my VCR,I have lots of movies which I have & am quite grateful to have found IN THIER ORIGINAL ANALOGUE FORMATS!! (Some were hard to find!! (Only newer crappy copies (digital,remastered,etc) were mostly available))

Its really very sad what they started doing in 1990 .. Transferring stuff to VHS digitally... (Older movies also that WERE analogue (Not every company but alot of them))

i agree about sp i had episodes of "On Scene: Emergency Response" that looked and sounded good in 2000 because i had kept them in a good place but i had some football games that looked good in lp such as
Michigan @ Ohio St, ABC, 12 pm, Gary Bender, Dick Vermeil
Raiders-Chargers, 4, NBC, Don Criqui, Bob Trumpy

i once had a tape of "On Scene" High-speed auto accident; cliffside rescue in Laguna Beach, Calif.; Phoenix drug raid and a movie that i taped off my fta dish in 90 on a T-150 cant remember the name of the movie but it was a old movie

[danderson400]

asking was T-120 netter than T-150? just asking

[Dude111]

Well a t-150 will give you more time in SP mode yes... (T-120s usually give a little over 2hrs (Usually 2hrs 10 Mins or so))

So, I have a question. Maybe a two part question. Are there any VCRs that were made with component cable inputs? And if so, would connecting a VCR to an HDTV via component cable produce a great looking picture or no?
