-Due to the use of incompatible power supplies (see above), two of YSTV's three HVRs are currently 'tape munchers'. A <strike> somewhat</strike> extremely unreliable solid-state recorder can be used with these cameras.
+Due to the use of incompatible power supplies (see above), the two working HVRs are currently 'tape munchers'. A formerly fully working HVR ceased functioning for reasons unknown on 25/11/13, leaving YSTV with no method to record from a HVR.
-<strike>The other camera records to tape fine. It used to have issues with sound due to a damaged microphone jack, but that has been fixed using spare parts from an older non-functioning HVR (again due to incorrect power supply). This camera also suffers from occasional optical issues, producing a distorted image.</strike>
+Both cameras can be used for live shows, both in HD and SD. During their use at [[OB:Woodstock 2009|Woodstock 2009]] the video out and umbilical were dangling directly from the composite socket for some of the show. The weight of the umbilical and the movement of the camera damaged the composite sockets of two of the cameras. These were re-soldered to the circuit board in the Easter vacation of 2010, but have since been damaged again. The S-Video connection has since been used on both cameras in SD setups. As of March 2014, one camera no longer outputs colour via S-video, and the other's connector is failing.

In an SD setup, the S-Video connection should be used instead. <strike> The exception to this is the one 'non-tape-muncher', that has a BNC mounted to it. </strike>
 HD requires the use of [[Battery Converters | battery converters]] to work with BNC cabling.
