DVD recorders aren't as common in the US likely due to the VCR being extremely common (and relatively cheap) and that VCRs didn't get blocked by random copy protection from some stations on cable. That and by the time VHS started to dry up Divo and cable provided hard drive like recording systems had become common enough to replace the VCR without having to get a DVD recorder...for TV purposes. Some people have them anyway, but use them to transfere stuff they recorded on Betamax or VHS to disc. Home movies, old television shows or things that aren't on DVD or BD at all

My question: because it came up when going over my grandmother's place, What do you do with old VHS tapes? We got hundreds of them.
