Message-ID: <979@ut-ngp.UUCP> Date: Tue, 25-Sep-84 16:11:16 EDT Article-I.D.: ut-ngp.979 Posted: Tue Sep 25 16:11:16 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 30-Sep-84 04:04:19 EDT Organization: U.Texas Computation Center, Austin, Texas Lines: 16 [] Are there any VHS machines out there which can scan in fast forward? If not, I would be interested in how people skip commercials and other such nonsense. And since cost has come up wrt Sony VCRs here is what I purchased recently: Sony 2415 $550 Front loading, cable ready (select 14 of ~100 channels) Full featured remote control 4 Event 21 day timer with voice ("Timer recording has begun..") Has anyone purchased a VCR (Beta or VHS) with the above features for under $500? I didn't shop around too much.
