Sylvania 6260VE 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR, Black
Cheap, but does the job.
This VCR is not the best of the best.  It doesn't have the bells and whistles, but it gets the job done.  We got it because our son shoved a straw into our old one and it choked.  We needed a VCR just to watch videos and shows that we have taped.  We're not into the Tivo age, just yet. <br />We had trouble setting it up with our Digital Cable, but finally got it to work.  We haven't tried to set the timer and record a show, but we'll cross that bridge when we have to.
