I don't think there's any such thing!

Yes, it is very difficult to get an answer from Spectrum.

I hate the fact that they don't let the Tivo work with their system now. If you want to record, you have to get their DVR and pay them monthly.


Yes that is why I sold my VCR. I had the HDVHS VCR that can record in HD 1080. In the beginning I could connect it to the cable box and record but they upgraded the cable box so I can't do that any more so I sold the VCR. I did sell it for twice the price I paid for it.

Amazon still lists them.

None of them are HD. Very few D-VHS VCR's ever made. They didn't sell well that why I got it and made a little money on it when I sold it.
I got the JVC HM-DH40000u.

I don't care about the letters or numbers. If I can watch a show, I'm satisfied. I remember when 1080 was a big deal. Now, it's considered low quality. I don't think 1080 actually got worse, though. 4k and 5k might be nice, but if you don't have the appropriate TV, what good is it?

This is the same question that people who post massive-sized jpg images to UHH should ask themselves

5,000 px wide (and larger!) is a bit of overkill for people viewing on phones and iPads, or 13" laptops like I have

Few monitors today can display an image 5000px wide. The 4K monitor can only display 3840 pixels. Of course there are 5K, 6K and 8K monitors but they are still rare.
