FROM Wikipedia
The Video Home System,[1][nb 1] better known by its abbreviation VHS, is a recording and playing standard developed by Victor Company of Japan, Limited (JVC) and launched in Europe/Asia in September 1976 (U.S. launch was June 1977), with The Young Teacher being the first movie to be released and A History of Violence, released on home video in 2006, being the last in the North American market.[2]
By the 1990s, VHS became a standard format for consumer recording and viewing, after competing in a fierce format war with Sony Corporation's Betamax and, to a much lesser extent, Philips' Video 2000, MCA's Laserdisc and RCA's Capacitance Electronic Disc.
=========================================================
I remember getting VHS I was 6 years old in 1979. I was amazed at how it could record TV. We recorded Doctor Who that very night.
My Dad had held off until he was certain that Sony's Betmax was not going to win that particular format war.
