I have a Sony VCR that's several years old, and still going strong.
I have noticed one problem though. While taping from a pay cable channel,
areas that are red are often "polluted" with blue or purple horizontal
streaks. This only happens on the pay channel, and the color on the pay
channel is fine when viewed "live".
My question is whether this is an artifact of incomplete filtering of
the pay channel's scrambling signal, or a sign that my VCR needs work. 
Many thanks for the advice.
