Well, let's not get too far off-topic here... the
issue of DVD vs. VHS is probably best discussed
on some video forum... :-)

Also, your comment about continual, unneccessary
upgrades doesn't really apply to the US versions --
all 26 episodes of UFO have *never* been released
in the US, and there's no reason to believe that
it will ever be released or broadcast on US TV
again! :-(

UFO has been released several times in the UK,
but so far the releases have used inferior
quality prints, and they always go out print
rather quickly! (and if you don't want to
buy the UK DVDs either, there is a rumor that
the BBC is planning on broadcasting it again
starting in the fall)

But yes, if someone is not planning on buying the
DVDs, then that's good information to have. I should
have included that option on my poll!
