Even the biggest current hits, like The Mandalorian, Stranger Things, and The Handmaid’s Tale aren’t on cable. TV just doesn’t dominate the way it used to. Nowadays, the top podcasts, vloggers, and YouTube stars get more than many network shows.

You could schedule multiple recordings, weekly recordings, and recordings on different channels. You could record digitally, so you didn’t have to store VHS tapes. In 1999, TiVo came along and changed the game again. VCRs even came with timers so you could schedule a recording in advance. Starting with the earliest Betamax and VHS tapes, people recorded their favorite shows and movies.
