I have a vague memory of some of the high-end ones being capable of recording DVDs and so you could use them to digitize your tapes. So those were not cobmo just for the sake of it.


There were also briefly D-VHSs and VCRs, so actually you don't even technically need DVDs to digitise your tapes...

...though if your D-VCR broke you would probably have had a harder time saving the D-VHS material than if it was still on VHS!


Some of them also allowed you to record live television, and some of THOSE supported DVD-RAM for essentially cheap DVR functionality.
