[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 872632, member: 199791"] Which was it? VHS (superior in the poorest of poor quality) or Betamax (top notch video quality)? :-rofl2 I have a load of Beta tapes and a lot of them are very high quality, almost broadcastable even (well, that is via analogue, digital compression would make it look as crap as the current master copies!!), infact it wouldn't surprise me if I have some lost episodes of something in there, kind of like what they've been showing on Challenge with old editions of Bullseye that look like they've been home-recorded... :D I was thinking back to when I was messing about with Hispasat and my indoor dishes, and I recall some of the really low-budget channels that looked like they used a JVC camcorder form the 1980s as their cameras, and back then they were clearer and more defined than what a lot of the freeview channels are now, of course they too have probably reduced in quality, I haven't scanned the skies for a while so am pretty much out of touch with what's available... :lol: [/QUOTE]
