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

Re: do yu remember your first video recorder
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

Re: do yu remember your first video recorder
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

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...'

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

Re: do yu remember your first video recorder
I had a JVC Hi-Fi Nicam VHS recorder, six months before anyone was broadcasting in Nicam.
