I save very few recordings, I make.
The last movie I recorded, was Bonnie and Clyde from PBS, no commercials.
I was surprised to see a movie like that shown on educational TV.

I have a DVR and DVD-RW for temp stuff I'll later record over....Only time I record on VHS anymore is when my DVR is full and I'm out of RWs, or when I want to timer record something so long that it's entirety will not fit on any one machine.
Some of my archived stuff may get VHS and S-VHS to S-VHS, DVD, and digital copy transfers in the future to better organize it, remove damaged copies of episodes and redundant copies of episodes....I'll keep an analog copy of the analog cable era stuff to preserve the original experience and digital for redundancy.
My VHS decks still get use as players, but at this point I can't find value in regular time-shifting/archiving of new material anymore.
