The VCR will continue to get used in my house as DVR and PVR units are costly compared to the VCR. TiVO and other alike services may be good, but it does not fulfill my recording needs like a VCR does. Although I still would like to record two or three shows simulatenously, but that is not that important to me. Furthermore, our TVs are old and subscribing or buying a DVR or PVR would require us to buy new TVs. I do not watch that much TV where buying new TVs with extra equipment is worth it.
