I'm pretty up in technology (hence my daily visits to engadget and slashdot), but I still really like my VCR. What's not to like? I can use it as a splitter and route many of my "modern" items through it. It still records and it doesn't charge me $13.99 a month like the overhyped TIVO (nope, not a TIVO fan, cancelled it after only 2 months of use). Mix the Dish Network with a VCR and you essentially have TIVO. You can program Dish to automatically start your VCR recording every time a show airs, just one time, every other time, or whatever you'd like. So with Dish and VCR you have your very own "Season Pass," and it costs you about a 4th of the price. Plus, most of my porn is still on video. Long live the VCR!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sloopydrew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wal-Mart dropping VHS in early 2006]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</guid><description><![CDATA[what's vhs?  never heard of it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[happy gilmore]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wal-Mart dropping VHS in early 2006]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</guid><description><![CDATA[Death to VHS!<br><br>Death to analog tape that degrades in quality every time it is played!<br><br>Death to dirty heads, analog signals, crappy sound, low resolution, just bad-all-around!<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[otakucode]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wal-Mart dropping VHS in early 2006]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</guid><description><![CDATA[VCRs will always be available, much like LP turntables are now.

That nice wide VHS tape makes for a fairly clean signal- then record that onto a hard drive and you've saved your MIDI as a .wav file. Just feed it back to the synth tape sync inputs and you've got a winner.<br>/sighs<br>Hopefully VHS and cassette will be around for awhile for us retro-techies...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[granny down east]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wal-Mart dropping VHS in early 2006]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</guid><description><![CDATA[But the stereotypical walmart customer is the most likely to still use VHS exclusively...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TVtheFleshtone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wal-Mart dropping VHS in early 2006]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</guid><description><![CDATA[Death to VHS<br>Death to BetaMAx<br>Death to Microsoft<br>Death to Apple<br>Death to Nintendo and Sony<br><br>And last but not least DEATH TO ENGADGET!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wizin y Yandel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wal-Mart dropping VHS in early 2006]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</guid><description><![CDATA[What? <br>I love my VCR.

I picked up a Toshiba RD-XS32, which is a DVR/80 Gig (68 hr) and a DVD recorder all in one.  It's NOT a TiVo.  I refuse to pay to record TV.  It works essentially like a VCR and it's great!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[World Tech Guy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wal-Mart dropping VHS in early 2006]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wizin y Yandel<br><br>if death to engadget and all the compaines u said then we wont have a place to meet and make stupid remarks about stupid(as in awesomely cool) technology available only in asia:(<br><br>just what would we all do in our free time?<br>get a life and a gf<br>....the hooror<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[izzy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Wal-Mart dropping VHS in early 2006]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/14/wal-mart-dropping-vhs-in-early-2006/</guid><description><![CDATA[damn i was just gonna say how innovative wal-mart was...<br><br>monopolizing small hick towns accross america and then expecting them to have the newest technology (er...
