I just learned that watching movies on VHS tape is still a thing. When did you last use a VHS player?

    Your local TV affiliate stations (with the local news) might still have some programs on BetaMax/BetaCam.

    Plenty of old TV exists solely on VHS tapes, recorded by folks at home and thrown in a box or never getting a DVD release.

    Plenty of family memories from the era of VHS were recorded to tape, it might be the last time someone captured a favorite relative.

    I’d kill to find a copy of an old 80s drunk driving PSA that even the AD council has forgotten about (I’ve asked). It had ghosts/ghouls/zombies rapping about drunk driving.
