Can you still buy DECENT quality blank VHS tapes?

With all this talk about VCR's lately and my latest VCR find got me thinking "does anyone still make decent quality blank VHS tapes anymore". The last ones I bought were RCA branded and the recording quality was crap. I like to record old TV shows and I often do this on the SLP setting so I can fit 6-7 episodes on a tape. I am aware that the SLP setting is not the greatest quality; but, it seems like what I've recorded over the last few years has been inferior to what I recorded back in the '80's and early '90's when VCR's were still a hot item. The only thing I can come up with is that the tapes that are currently available are of inferior quality to the tapes that were made 20 years ago. In fact, I wonder how much longer we'll be able to buy new VHS tapes of any quality. I know VCR's are considered "dead" by the electronics industry and, AFAIK, the only ones available today are those cheap made DVD/VCR combinations and most don't even have a tuner built in anymore. This might be a good time for us VCR owners to stock up on blank tapes.
