Not really useless SP. You can still record from TV if you wish to, albeit using a different method than previously, which over here is very simple. You can still record to tape from any source, if you have the need. And of course you can archive from video to another source. I think it will be a long time (if ever) that they will be impossible to get hold of. Just like record players, you can still buy those even after decades of CD's. I still (though not often) collect rare video's such as the Bill Bixby home movie tutorial which I think I put in the collectables section, which is an America NTSC format too.
