   TV set-top DVD *recorders* are difficult to find - Panasonic is one   
   company apparently still making them, and you can of course get them as   
   computer drives.   
      
   TV set-top DVD *players* are still made by a few manufacturers, such as   
   Sony, Panasonic, and LG.   
      
   Many shows and movies are still being released on DVD, Blu-ray, and HD.   
   Sales figures have dropped a lot from the highs, but disc formats are   
   making a bit of a come back, just like vinyl did and to a lesser degree   
   CDs and audio cassettes. Even VHS is having something of a revival.   
   These come backs has / could mean manufacturers restart making the   
   devices to play them on.
