Got It Digit-all Covered

Back in yesteryear, when DVDs were still quite new, and it became possible to record your programs on the players at home, I was shopping in an electronics store for something completely different. I overheard the following conversation between a clerk and a customer:

Model numbers have been made up on the spot for the story.

Customer: “So there are these two types, the UVG32 and the UVG32+. Aside from the + model costing 20 euros more, I can’t find any differences. According to the tags and the box, they have the same amount of memory, same dimensions, same features… what’s the difference?”

The clerk examines the tags for a moment.

Clerk: “…ah! It’s subtle, but I’ve figured it out. See, this one is digital!”

Unfortunately, my dad called me away, so I didn’t catch more of the conversation. I would have loved to hear more about this ANALOG Digital Video Disc recorder.
