[net.video] Advice on VCR Purchase

lincoln@eosp1.UUCP (Dick Lincoln) (02/15/84)

I posted the following a short time ago to net.consumers and
net.wanted.  On advice from various responders, I am reposting to this
group.  Please accept my apologies if you have already seen it.  I also
realize that some information of this kind was recently collected in
net.video, but it has been removed from our system.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I need advice on programmable VCRs with at least 7 and as much as 14
days programming capability, if available.  The VCR should be
compatible with TV cable service which will soon be available, by that
I mean I should be able to program the recording of cable programs.  I
will appreciate advice on the best equipment and methods to do that: TV
and VCR combined.  The Sony SL-2710 Beta Hi-Fi has already been
recommended, but I am concerned about the longevity of the Beta
format.

Please answer by E-mail to:
