It strikes the ear about as oddly as it would if I said I was going to watch a UHD Betamax tape.
If someone were to say they were "taping" taping something on their DVR or talking about leaving electric lights "burning" I'd be tempted to ask them if they have enough DVR tapes or light bulb kerosene to poke fun at them in a similar way..
