Thank you infoman.
Odd one that.
Don't think anyone now records on to video tape anymore from the TV?
Our hdd is, I guess, solid state, but it does make the occasional clunking noise when starting up, so maybe not?
However, when talking of somethings that's been recorded, I will invariably say "Oh. we've got that on tape", when of course, it isn't.
Is it me?
I still have my VCR sitting on the top shelf of a cupboard in case I would like to watch one of the five remaining tapes I have. I must get round to digitising those tapes at some point.
I still have a DVD player/recorder sitting under the telly. It has long been unplugged with a pile of DVD's that have mostly only been watched once. It was bought to replace the VCR when we still had 5 channels. Once the digital switchover came it was a bit of a chore to have to set two timers to record one programme. One on the DVD recorder and another on the Freeview box.
So I got a PVR. I am fortunate to have a rare model that allows me to record from Freeview and transfer that to a USB stick which I then further transfer to my tablet to watch on the way home from work / day out. I could download from the iPlayer or similar but not every programme or channel is available.
