 Perhaps what you really need is a Sony "C" format 1" professional
VTR. They're sort of big, a little noisy and cost kilobucks, but
what the heck, if the networks use them maybe a true videophile
should have one also. The point is some people let technology get
in the way of what they really need. Laser Disc Players are neat
products, but if you want to do time shifting or rent a lot of
movies then a VCR is the way to go. Unfortunately some of us have
to remain within our budgets and a VCR, while not providing the
best video quality does provide the flexibility required to get
maximum usage. Sort of more bang for the buck. If I had an 
unlimited budget my family room would look like the master control
room at NBC Burbank. Unfortunately it looks more like the back room
at Joe's TV Repair Shop. :-}
