I was a very late comer to the world of video as we never really felt we needed one. Finally got a VCR in 1997

I think ours was a Sharp, which we could set to turn on the analogue cable box, when we wanted to record, back then ;)

- the move to digital doesn't seem to have improved, that ;)

edit - unless you have v+, of course ;)

we had a top loader that you had to catch the video from. Think I was about 12 so that would have been 82ish. My dad used to copy Atari computer software (not the console but he did that too ;)) and our local video library had a lot off him. Instead of cash payment we were allowed any videos we wanted and at 13/14 and video censorship still not imposed I was always after the electric blue off the top shelf ;)

A Ferguson Videostar with a wired remote control :)

Snap. I was thinking about the features, top loading, one timer. 8 channels which were push (click) buttons, wired remote control, and the tape counter was mechanical.
And the first thing that it recorded (well it was on the telly at the time) was 'Live from Norwich...'

Some sort of huge chunky top-loading Betamax thing.

Talking of video's, I remeeber in early computer magazines adverts for a card you could buy to connect your PC to your VCR to backup all your data !

Re: do yu remember your first video recorder
 

Betamax top loader with push in buttons on the front that allowed you to tune in up to 6 channels.

I had a JVC Hi-Fi Nicam VHS recorder, six months before anyone was broadcasting in Nicam.

Same thing, I think. Bloody thing never worked properly.
