Ditto. I run a Toshiba D-VR5 DVD recorder/VHS combo for DVD recording. My oldest discs from it are around 5 years old and still play fine (mine has 4 speeds Xp/Sp/Lp/Ep that run 1/2/4/6 hours each respectively and in quality ranging from vastly better than VHS to decent ).
I also have a Panasonic DMR-E80H DVR/DVD recorder. I mostly use it's DVR section...It is a free DVR not tied to cable or tivo or any other crap....I just set it like a VCR and later watch my programs and when done either delete them or dub them to DVD...It is that easy. Both units were thrift shop finds and I spent less than $40 a piece.
