I have been unhappy with the lifetimes of my home tapes.
I have been very happy with TiVo, but stuff I want to save either gets transferred to tape or dvd - and the latter process was time-consuming (and I haven't restored the capability since my disk crash). And - I don't know how happy I'm going to be with home made dvd's in 10 years. Maybe less happy than with the tapes.
I have been collecting some commercial dvds. Wonder how happy I'll be with them in 10 years. Of course, my lasting ten years gets more iffy each year, so perhaps I should just ignore the problem and watch what I've got :<) . .

TCM is great. I need more time.
