The waveform was definitely one of a video picture however, proving that the tapes were neither worn out nor demagnetised by their long storage, and mechanically fit to play. In the case of the War Games tape, the playable recording was underneath an unplayable recording at the start of the tape, supporting the theory that the tapes have been re-recorded on another machine since the demise of the YSTV IVC machine. The question is now what model machine this might have been, and how to find one to play them with. | The waveform was definitely one of a video picture however, proving that the tapes were neither worn out nor demagnetised by their long storage, and mechanically fit to play.

At the beginning of 2011, the decision was taken to begin converting the shelf of assorted VHS tapes in the corridor between the control room and studio into easier to handle digital formats. As a result the Archive Server was born and a significant number of tapes have been copied using the two VHS decks (the [[JVC SVHS]] and the [[JVC SVHS/DV]]), with the intention to copy them onto a more durable, high-density storage medium and use them in future shows, such as [http://ystv.co.uk/watch/YSTVArchives/ YSTV Archives]. | |||
