Our Vhs video has given up it's life and we can't watch our old tapes anymore only listen to the sound. I would like to know if anyone has a Dvd player/recorder that also plays VHS tapes as well. Can you tell me if you can record your VHS tapes on to discs? What make and model do you have and is it easy to transfer them over? Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks
Helen

yes

dvd/vhs player/recorders are available some including digital tuners...yes you can dub from one media to another....record on either......
and freeview

I bought one from sainsbury's. about £160
toshiba DVR18DTKTB

some commercial tapes are protected, you cant copy them, but your own tapes should be ok....

Thanks, Smiffy, Bob and Falkirkbairn, have been looking at various sites this afternoon, but finding it hard to understand all the jargon. Will show hubby when he gets home and see what he says.
If anyone else has any ideas or recomendations I would appreciate it.
