Can’t you use rewritable dvds?
There are some that have rewritable, but the unit I purchased, unknown at the time I purchased it, doesn't. Mine uses DVD+R dvd's. And even those are getting harder to find now.
I've looked a few times, and as I recall, rewritable DVD recorders aren't that common.
I guess there's the alternative route of a DVR recorder. Although that has its problems as well. My tech repair guy (and who would know better?) had his own DVR break after many years, and he thought he could just transfer the memory of all the shows he'd recorded over to a new DVR unit. But that turned out to not be possible, so he lost all the moves and shows he'd recorded!
At least with DVD's, if your unit breaks, you can still play them in a new unit.
