Many VCRs had digital freeze frame since the late 1980s, which to me would imply they had a TBC - apparently, not necessarily. For a couple of years in the late 1980s built-in TBC was a hot topic, then quietly faded away, which was double funny with "DIGITAL" written all over many VCRs. I suppose, labels were scared to offer VCRs that would produce a better-than-total-crap copy of a tape.
