VHS vs DVD + TV Digital vs Analouge

Just a question regarding all the recent changes in home theatre. First of all, do you use mainly DVD or do you still use VHS/VCR
Also in regards to TV (satellite/cable and free to air) do you recieve standard broadcasts or digital broadcasts (via a set top box)

Will be interesting to see if the digital revolution is more accepted in some areas of the word then others..

p.s - i know the poll is kinda limited, so feel free to write your responses too!

I get analouge (standard tv) and use VHS to record TV shows etc, but usually use DVD to watch movies (except I obviously use VHS for movies not re-released on DVD)

Oh yea I stuffed up the last poll question! It should be DVD/Standard TV. Pehaps one of the mods will be kind and fix it for me?

Fixed your poll for you. I mainly watch DVDs (95% of the time), and the TV signal is via cable so it's better than regular quality (though I don't know if it's strictly "digital" or not)

Here in the US, we're literally planning one big digital television (DTV) revolution in 2009 (was 2006) when all broadcasters in the US stop transmitting analog. Hopefully, DRM will continue to be thrown out of the FCC's DTV mandate.

I have only recently bought a SD set top box, a Teac ITV-D500 (see www.player.teac.com.au). I think this box is called Netgem in the UK and Europe. But I watch videotapes more than DVD's.

BTW I bought the above set top box for well under half the price it was at a certain music and home entertainment store at which a certain person on this forum works, where it was priced at $AU499. No wonder they can afford to pay his wages.

I picked "VHS and Standard TV (analouge)"

I like the most smoothest/natural look/sound and in my opinion nothing beats how beautiful analogue is
