Can anyone provide a list of VCRs available with direct (10-key)
tuning? The top-of-the-line Sears beta is the only one I've seen.
With the range of channels available on cable, this seems like an
obvious feature. Why do so many use a limited number of preset
channels rather than direct tuning? (Although there may be fewer than
14 channels on our cable system that carry things I'd be likely to
tape...).
