As you said, a deck without tapes is worthless. Your efforts are ones that will stop the production of tapes, which would make my deck worthless even if I don't end up with problems! If, as you say, a broken with tapes available deck is worthless, then how will stopping the production of tapes help you? It won't. It will only hurt those who have functioning decks.

I am already working the JVC end of the issue. Now I am working the content provider end of the issue. I am telling them I will no longer support their content until the issues are corrected with the only device available to display their content.

Well, I hope then that Fox and Artisan know how to fix a VCR that they don't make. Otherwise, this isn't going to help me get more tapes. New tapes are worthless to you? Don't buy them. Please don't tell the studios not to make them for me!

Your desire for more content does not negate my right to obtain the use and enjoyment out of my investment, which includes both the deck and the tapes. I am prepared to take whatever measures I believe are necessary to that end.

And how does telling the studios not to make more tapes re-enable your right to watch the tapes you already bought? I am sorry your deck broke, but that isn't my problem. It is your problem and JVC's responsibility to fix. When my car stops running, I don't call up Blaupunkt and tell them to stop selling the automaker stereos.

Of course I'm being selfish. Everyone is when it comes to their own personal satisfaction with this stuff. The fact that you aren't having an issue and would rather I keep quiet is self serving. The fact that I am raising the roof over it because I am having nothing but problems is self serving. But then again, YOU didn't spend all the money you did on your hobby to make ME happy, did you? Of course you didn't, so let's not even go there.

I want you to make all the noise in the world to the right people. In this case, the right people would be JVC. If the tapes themselves were having problems, then complain to the studios. And I am not going where you are asking me not to go. I spent my money on myself and my friends for our enjoyment.

I'm not saying that if I can't have D-Theater then no one should--you are putting words in my mouth. You seem to be saying I should just take one for the team. Again, I'm being selfish. I freely admit it. But don't you pretend that you aren't being selfish. You most certainly are.

You aren't saying nobody should have D-Theater, just that the studios shouldn't be making any more tapes. Sorry, but to me, that is just splitting hairs. Take one for the team? Please! Complain to JVC all damn day! It just looks more like you got a bum deal and are unhappy. Rather than just complain about it, you are taking your ball and going home.
And you refer to me as being selfish because I don't want them to stop providing content? Freely admit that you are being selfish, but don't say that people who don't share your opinion are acting the same way.
