I actually record very little off TV these days -- I think the last thing I recorded was the 2013 World Series. I've got several bins full of movies and such that I recorded off TNT and TCM in the '90s, and I dip into these from time to time. My VCR dates to that era, and it looks fine on my 63-year-old TV set. To be honest, my eyes are so bad that ultra high resolution would be wasted on me.
What I don't like about modern TV gear is the capability it has for surveillance. I don't care to have the Boys From Marketing taking note of whatever I happen to be watching whenever I happen to be watching it, and while it's impossible to fully avoid this now that cable has gone digital, I can certainly make it very difficult for them.
