Its not too bad actually through a scart onto a HD telly. Ive got the Jarre Houston concert and a few others that were never released on disc...yes I know they are generally on you tube now. I have industry recorded tapes and the hold up very well. I thought I would see more drop out but its pretty good considering. I had Video 8 once and that was very good with a home recording
I have remote control scart switching boxes and I go RGB when its supported. I like firing it up from time to time. What am I going to get for a VCR now....a fiver?...... so my way of thinking is I wont abandon the facility to play a 40 year history of VHS tapes
