Yes, what you probably thought that you will never combine is arriving: A device for playing and recording VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and HDD. And who is in charge of this invention? JVC, they are releasing the JVC DR-BH2550 in Japan in a few weeks more (December).
But wait, that’s not all, it also has a 250 GB hard drive, neat isn’t?
The idea actually, if you think about it, it is not all that strange. Recording from DVD to Blu-R it is not all that common yet, using a DVD recorder to replace a VHS it is not working either (maybe because there is none with an acceptable quality); so what do you may need? A device that combines all of them.
