VCR for analog TV as well as HDTV

Since this is a specialized issue, I thought I may have a better chance of getting responses in a separate thread.

We need to buy a new VCR to replace a dead unit. It will be used to watch old tapes as well as record/playback missed TV shows.

However, presently we have one of the older analog TV's. Within 1-2 years we will probably buy an LCD HDTV. (Given the quality of broadcasts and our cable company, we are likely to continue watching off-air with antenna.)

Will a VCR work on both the analog TV and the future HDTV? Will they all or do I have to watch out when choosing a specific model?

I remember reading a while back about a particular model from Samsung that was hi-def VCR (Model DVDVR325) and here's an excerpt that might interest you -

"While the CE industry and the consuming public have been putting all the attention on DVD, JVC (with its HM-DH30000) and Mitsubishi (with its HS-HD2000U) have been quietly elevating VHS technology with the development of D-VHS. Basically, D-VHS VCRs are totally compatible with standard VHS, they can record and play all standard VHS and S-VHS formats, but with an added wrinkle: D-VHS is capable of recording in all 18 DTV approved formats, from 480p to full 1080i, with the addition of an external DTV tuner"

Enjoy!
