This subject was touched on here earlier. All TVs and VCRs, if they have a regular tv tuner built in, sold in the US after February 28 2007, must have a digital tuner built in. Same thing goes for DVD recorders.

Those old VCRs will still play your tapes. But, they WON'T be able to record off from an antenna without a converter box.

Many manufacturers have already discontinued making VCRs.

Some will make VCRs that won't have a tuner in it.

Some will make a VCR that has a digital tuner in it and will convert the signal to a VCR compatible analog signal.
