Can I purchase a DVD recorder without the VCR combination?

Question

I do not want to purchase a VCR because I do not have any VHS tapes. Isn't that obsolete?

Answer 1

You absolutely can.  Aside from Tivo and DVRs you can get with your cable (none of which I've seen with VCR combination) you can get DVRs from most of the big (and small) brand names.

This one for example looks like it could work:

And yeah, at least to me VHS is obsolete.

Answer 2

Hi GrannyPooh2,

You are certainly correct that VCRs are obsolete.

Any store that sells electronics can sell you a DVD player or recorder. Players are as cheap as $25 and recorders as cheap as $75.

Here are some examples of DVD players - http://www.walmart.com/search/browse-ng....

Answer 3

yes you can, vcr tapes are obsolete but are still out there, just as dvds will be going to blu-ray or hd, so i would find out if the recorder is hd compatible, because regular dvds will soon be obsolete. good luck
