So, weird question but has anyone recorded off of a smart tv (let's say the Neflix app) onto a VHS tape? I cleaned my VCR last night and it's picture is better than ever again and it got me thinking. I can hook it up to my smart tv (2014/15 Roku) and watch a tape through AV cables but I've never actually recorded something using a VCR. If it's anything like a music cassette tape it just records whatever is being played or at least it should so my question is- is it possible to record a movie from Netflix onto a VHS tape? I don't have any blank ones and am not interested in wasting money if it isn't but there are also some films that Netflix doesn't seem interested in releasing onto DVD that I would very much like to own copies of.
This is all hypothetical for now but when I googled I was told something about needing a digital to analogue converter which didn't quite make sense to me but I'm not that tech savvy so I thought I'd ask before trying. Anyone able to give me some input?
