We have stacks of old vhs tapes with home recorded television films on. We
would prefer not to just throw them away, but would they be of use to
anybody these days?

Not really. These days, VHS is extremely outmoded, plus would you want
to give away tapes containing your own content to strangers? You would
presumably have to degauss the tapes or record unimportant content over
them before you give them away, which is not worth the effort.

He appears to be talking about what he has recorded from TV.

Nope, not if it was recorded off TV.

Try the FREECYCLE GROUPS on Yahoo.com - you advertise something to give
away (rather than put it in the landfill) and then arainge with someone
to come pick it up.
There are still people collecting shows and VHS tapes: I gave away over
100 of the darn things.
