hmmm... I wonder when they added these features to VCR's

True One Touch recording through an interactive On screen menu/guide system

Pause Live TV, and skip through commercials... even while the program is being broadcast.

As to your Drawbacks...

1: Its NOT just a VCR. Its a Way of Life.

2: My Ultimate TV has over 100Hours if Space on it... Thats a lot more than "A Tape". And it is not hard to dump to tape if need be.

3: Huh? I know your a bit behind, but they recently came up with a great concept... Video Rental Stores. You can rent just about any movie you could ever want to see for like $3.00. Most of these places even rent DVD's!!!! but I;m sure your opposed to though too.

4: Everything Breaks eventually. Deal with it.

You really have confirmed to eveyone here that you are truely delusional with that last comment.
