You can buy your PVR from your cable company, or from your local electronic big box store but still locked to particular cable companies.

So the cable encrypted their signals and Personal Video Recorder (PVR) manufacturers only sold units that combined signal decoders with recorders and these units would be locked to particular cable operators. Why this is so is another story! In short the television stations, but mostly the cable companies were worried that viewers would make perfect copies of their shows and collect them, or skip the commercials when playing them back.

My collection of recorded television shows stopped growing when our digital television replaced the old analog one. Yet, nothing has really replaced the VHS tapes.

Now, televisions are digital and at least for consumers who get their tv by cable (or from satellite), PVRs have replaced VCRs. People would record their favorite shows on VHS (or Beta) tapes to watch later and reuse, or in many cases for pack rats to keep in their collections. When television was in its middle years and receivers were analog, videocassette recorders (VCRs) were a most common accessory. I say that the word ‘critically’ is redundant because non-critical thinking is not thinking. Thinking critically means applying the rules of logic and evidence to the thought process. I put this word in brackets, because frankly it is redundant. Or maybe, going by gut instincts, and feelings is all that matters. Maybe old folk tales and ancient books transcribed from older oral traditions capture all what one needs to ‘live’. So its easier (they think) to follow the crowd. Maybe such people don’t have the inclination, maybe they’ve been browbeaten in the past and mocked when they expressed themselves. What could be clearer ? I supposed for some, this is very hard. Yes, that’s a verb that exhorts others to, well, think. Yes folks, calling on people to think critically for themselves was construed to be an offensive recommendation! Let’s parse this very short statement: It starts with THINK. But then one person took it as an offense. A friend called it my motto and that’s fine by me. It is after all my primary tag line, and the default signature on my email. If it has the same connectors as your VCR, great! If not, you may need an RCA cable that has the three RCAs at one end but a 3.5mm audio plug at the other.This is an apt subject for my first blog post. You’ll then need to plug those cables into your VHS converter. The two most common output connectors on the back of a VCR are S-Video, which is video only, and RCA, which has three plugs: one for video and two for audio. This depends on what ports you have on your VHS-to-digital converter. You’ll use this to play the VCR tapes that you want to digitize. For example, the listings on Amazon include “VHS to Digital Converter Adapter”, “Elgato Video Capture”, “Capture Card USB”, “Video Capture Card” and so on. Different manufacturers call them different things, but you’ll usually find the word “capture” or “converter” in the name.
