I also have a Panasonic mono VHS VCR (model PV-4022) connected to my flat screen TV. Works just perfectly, even on DTV channels (on the cable system in my area, Time Warner, all seven Cleveland network TV stations are digital; the rest of the cable channels are analog NTSC). My VCR was purchased new in 2002, ten years ago. The digital transition doesn't seem to bother it one bit, although I use the VCR mostly to watch old tapes these days and rarely for recording. My LG Blu-ray player gets more use than the VCR, as would be expected in this age of Blu-ray DVDs and the improved picture quality afforded by today's upscaling BR players; the only thing is, I'm not sure if I'm seeing the improvement, since I am currently using only a composite video connection (not an HDMI cable) between the Blu-ray and my TV.
