Degradation of analog data stored on magnetic tape is a lie—teach the controversy!

For real though, can't one just... not post about stuff you don't know about?

If one wants to give one real information one should feel free to link one of one's sources. Try this one.

The thing you have linked to is correct, but you're reading it wrong.

VHS has 240 *horizontal* lines of resolution, meaning that a grid comprising 240 alternating *vertical* black and white stripes ought to be resolvable as a bare minimum. This corresponds (roughly) to 2.5MHz of luminance bandwidth. This is also confusingly named, but there you go.

Youtube's 240p resolution is lower quality than VideoCD, and far *far* lower quality than even fairly manky VHS.
