Before you say "VCR!!??" Where the hell were you guys in 97 when they came out? I got my first in 97.

My girl rents those korean bootleg soap tapes so we have to keep a vcr, But was looking at a possible recorder to record late night stuff while I sleep. ie Martin at 4am etc.

Any recs?

Trying to find a VCR with a DVR built-in is like trying to find a CD player with a tape deck built-in.
If you just need a DVR; Tivo or Replay TV will suffice.
