Panasonic still makes VHS VCRs under its "Omnivision" label. I had one with VCR Plus (which went west about two years ago when it ate a cassette--of a program I had taped only about two hours earlier and hadn't even seen yet). ARGH!!!!!!!!
Bought another one right after that (the next day), which I still have, and it still works. Mine will record up to eight shows in, IIRC, a 7-day period, but since I have digital cable with a cable box, I have to manually change channels at the box if I want to record shows on different channels (sorta' like the original Omni systems). The VCR itself must remain on channel 3 or 4 to receive the output of the cable converter, of course, much as the UHF TV converters of the '50s and early '60s (and today's VCRs) operate.
Speaking of Omnivision, I wonder what, if anything, that label was or is supposed to have meant? Or is this just another example of a company using these fancy labels as marketing symbols, as Zenith, RCA/GE and Magnavox, etc. have been for about the last 15 years since their operations went offshore?
Personally, however, I don't think the label had anything to do with Macrovision (as another poster mentioned here). This was supposed to have been, IIRC, a system meant to thwart illegal copying of commercial VHS movie cassettes; if all Panasonic Omnivision machines (including current production) had had this feature, it probably (IMO) would have sent the price through the roof.
