Shame for the Quality ! it's almost like they used a Betamax Video Camera to Record if off the TV Screen.
I Don't remember TV Picture or Sound Quality Being anywhere Near as Bad in '76

It also depended on the VHS tape quality. And if memory is correct, the VHS camera's had a setting. The best quality setting gave one less recording time. Then there a was a middle setting. IF you set the camera to get the most recording time for a tape, quality was horrible.
