How does the Panasonic ShowStopper Hard Disk Recorder differ from a VCR?
One of the biggest differences is that the ShowStopper Hard Disk Recorder is meant for short-term storage and does not use videotape for archiving, but can be used in conjunction with your VCR for long-term storage. The ShowStopper Hard Disk Recorder’s digital storage technology provides exceptional picture quality and allows you to control live TV.
