I guess it's a neat idea if the price is right. However I had no problem plugging my old VHS recorder into the back of my DVD recorder and copying all my old tapes over to DVD via scart.

A DVD recorder can be had for £60 odd these days and will be more useful in the long run.

Well?

Even more tat for Maplins to claim is a best seller and a bargain at RRP...

... but my problem is that my S-VHS recorder failed and the inpependent repair shop would not repair it. Annoyingly, it was just after I'd put my S-VHS home movies in a pile ready to copy to DVD+RW, for editing on the computer!
