VCRs.
Spent my childhood merrily taping things off the TV, and thought it was the best thing ever. i love those nostalgic whirring and clicking sounds as the tape loads.
But digital media is just the best, and tapes can stay in the past where they belong.
Honestly I really miss being able to record live TV with a VCR. I still watch tv with an antenna, mainly for football games, and it would be really nice if there was a way I could record them. Whenever I've looked into making my own DVR it just seems too expensive and confusing.
Manhattan TV seems to be a good product for me at the moment (UK). It's got all the HD channels live, and you can easily record them to disk.
