Where in sheffield can I buy video tapes?

You are a weird human being RickyM. Just thought I'd point that out

[carosio 186]

Cheers.......I'll get some as I still like to record a programme now and then.

 

unless the video recorer has a digital tv tuner you will not be able to record tv programs

 

You have to plug in an older digibox that has a scart socket.

This Ricky bloke is literally crying out for help. How can we fail a fellow forum member so badly. It's 2015 and he's recording television program's on a VCR!!! Imagine if he meets a woman and brings her back for "coffee", she's going to take one look at that VCR and think he's either insane or incredibly cheap.

I bring them back to listen to my 78rpm records on my HMV stereogram. Nothing like a few Nellie Wallace records to stir the passions, and as an extra treat a drink of tap water out of my tin mug.

Because its the only way you can record TV programmes using a VCR recorder, unless it has a tuner for digital broadcasts.

I usually stick on the extended version of Das Boot.

Especially with subtitles in Eskaluetian!

I think that that version was only released onto VHS tape. Now I've thrown out my VCR I can't watch it any more. If only I knew someone who had a VCR!

[carosio 186]

I can't understand that version as it's in an obsolete dialect.

 

I have 2 VHS machines, come in useful for the many pre-recorded tapes that can be got from the charity shops.

 

I could do with a betamax machine as I have some old tapes, but they now tend to ask high prices- this one isn't even working

Sorry to revive an old thread but thought I'd provide an update.......

 

I never did buy or find any videos and realise that most people aren't interested in them anymore (justified) so have given up looking.

 

The reason I asked on here was that I thought I could get films on the cheap as DVDs have replaced old VHS.

 

I've still got my VCR player and a few videos but it's not likely I'll have it much longer as the quality of the videos is declining and will soon be un-watchable.

 

Thanks to everyone that read and contributed.

Im sure I have a bag full of VCR movies in my loft. Would you still be interested? I will check and inbox you with details if I have got them.
