Your best bet is a DVD Recorder with VHS. I had one from Panasonic that output HDMI at 720p or 1080i. If you can find something with similar specs (VHS and HDMI) from another brand, I would say go for it. This is a link to the model I had: (Amazon). Donβt let that price fool you. I got mine at Goodwill for $15. And I still see comparable units for under $30 pretty often. YMMV.
Why VHS and HDMI matters: better analog video processors. Some DVD recorders are only designed for high quality MPEG2 reproduction. And they scale to 1080p really well, but only do a basic pass through on composite video sources. DVD Recorders with VHS are much more likely to have a video signal process with features like advanced comb filtering, deinterlacing, chroma and luma noise reduction, and the option to scale at a native 4:3 screen ratio, or stretched 16:9.
Good luck.
