DVD Recorders vs. DVD Recorder/VCR combos

[GameMaster]

I bought a DVD Recorder/VCR combo so I could transfer old VHS tapes onto DVD. And also, my mom wanted me to transfer our old home movies (which are on VHS) to DVD. I think its much easier and more convenient than connecting two separate devices (a DVD recorder and then a VCR).

I also had purchased it to record TV shows but Tivo is so much better so I don't use it for that anymore.

Purchasing the combo also takes up less room and frees up one more plug outlet.
