hmph! The video recorder finally gave up the ghost this evening. I find myself in a tech quandry…
You see the opportunity is now wide open for me to upgrade my old Sky STB to a MySky, or dust off the old HTPC sitting in the corner of the lounge, or cross-grade to a DVD/HD recorder. What a fantastic position to be in - with the boss’ blessing too!
The quandry is that before the DVD craze I found myself in a VHS craze. I now have a significant number of VHS tapes, and potentially no way of playing them back. Now this wouldn’t normally phase me, as some of these gems I’d just replace; the problem is the full collection of Disney videos the kids watch. I’m sure others have been in this situation before; I might look at storing them digitally for personal use - who knows?
The only good thing is that I’ve got choices.
