Lol true that. Life is more fun that way. We're about the same age and the memories of some of my favorite movies from childhood include the taped commercials. Only viewed positively through the lens of nostalgia, I've done everything reasonable to eliminate commercials from my current day to day.

Haha, same here! I digitised a few tapes some years ago and the ads were somehow part of the fun. Similarly though I have network-level and blocking these days in addition to device-based blockers.

I was rather interested to see that people have been hacking VCRs to get better signals out of them for digitising old tapes. Looked a bit more complicated than I want to get into, admittedly, but the results were great.

Ugh, this thread just reminded me of the pile of miniDV tapes a friend gave me to rip!
