Survivor of the Great Avatar Depression
A while ago when I had my VCR (I'll be getting a new one soon hopefully), and I was trying to record some channels (I have no DVR before anyone asks), I noticed whenever my VCR was hooked up to the channels. they would take a massive drop in quality. There was no noticeable audio difference, but the quality was pretty bad. Every channels had static (correct word?) all over it, basically it got very pixel-y. I'm guessing it was because of one of these reasons:
1. I was using a coaxil cable which provides somewhat-lower quality (I couldn't get the red/yellow/white cords to work with it at the time)
2. Since tv is broadcast digitally instead of by analog means now, it could've been a byproduct of that (although the static was still there even on basic cable channels)
3. The VCR could've just been a bad VCR. (It was an Emerson model, to be a bit more specific)
Now, if I do get a new one, I have no idea which kind I'll be getting, but I'm assuming I'll run into the same problem again (all I know was it probably won't be one of those VCR/DVD combo players, since we've already got enough Blu-ray and DVD players as it is). My question is, how can I fix this?
