Does anyone watch videos anymore?

I still have my VCR that has been going strong now for over 13 years. The main reason that I have kept it is because it is the only means that I have of recording shows from the TV. I still have some videos too that we watch from time to time as well. All of our home movies from when the kids were younger are on VCR too. We have had a DVD player (non recording) for about 5 years or so now and are thinking of upgrading that soon as it no longer works properly. Some days it plays and other days it will not. If we get a new DVD or Blue Ray player that records, then we may get rid of the VCR, but I think we may as well keep it as long as it still works.

Yes, and my purchasing habits went up. The converter box didn't work, cable costs to much. Don't get any kind of t.v. so we know watch alot of muvies vhs, dvd, or online. Miss the weather reports but I still have free radio. Honestly I would rather own vhs. Dvd's are scratch to easily, cost to much money and now it's time to upgrade to blue ray or what ever is now the new trend. To much b.s. for me.

i could not watch tapes anymore as all our players are already garbage ready appliance even if we would want to get them repaired, no more parts are available in the market..

I only watch DVD's now. I still have a few tapes but I haven't touched them in years. I don't miss them either. VHS tapes just can't compare to DVD. And I haven't tried Blu-Ray yet but I probably will eventually. I bought my first DVD player in 1997 or 1998. I gradually replaced some of the movies I had on VHS with DVD. Now I have probably around 900 movies on DVD.

Oh I definitely do, I invested so much money in building up my video collection that I just can't let go of them. In fact I still use my VCR to record stuff off of TV and will wait until it packs up before then buying a hard drive/dvd/vcr combo. The trouble is that many of the videos I own are not yet available on DVD to buy, so whilst I have upgraded certain videos to DVD the only way I can enjoy the others is to still watch them on tapes which are starting to degrade. When I do upgrade to a new combo machine I will transfer some of the rarer ones over to DVD but I don't what I will do with the actual videos after because so few people want them that it's nearly impossible to give them away let alone sell them.

We all seem to have a lot of vhs tapes and it makes sense to keep watching them or they'll just sit and collect dust for one thing! besides, dvds scratch easily and the picture/sound quality isn't really that much better than vhs (in my opinion). Plus in this economy, I can't afford to replace all my tapes with disks! Unfortunately, tapes were fazed out years ago but I prefer them to dvds and the menu madness with options in ant print.

I used to have so many videos my vcr could run itself. Then along came the dvd. It mad movie watching so much nicer. There was no tape to break or rewind. Bluray is giving the dvd a run for its money. Every now and then I will return to my vcr to watch an old video. Otherwise, I rely on my dvds.
