Occasionally, I get a request to hookup the VCR when we install. I ask, "when did you last use the VCR?" (long pause) "199x". I'll then point out that it is unlikely that the VCR is still functional, the tapes are reaching EOL, and that any critical tapes should be archived on discs. As an aside, one should not assume that there is a composite input on new equipment.

I have one customer who has hundreds of tapes and thousands of discs. His VCR and DVD players are constantly busy.
