With recent information stating the demise of the DVD within the next 5 years, it comes as a big surprise to me that the majority of Americans still own a VCR.

At our house, we don't even have a DVD player, let alone a VCR. We have two digital streaming Roku using Netflix, Hulu, and a media server running Plex
