I mean, just based off personal recollection, 2 VCRs was rarer than two TVs, since the second TV would be a small 15 inch in the kitchen permanently tuned to the Andy Griffith show or an old TV in the garage for football games.
But I’m sure there are some trade organizations stats about all this somewhere. And yes, I know people who had huge catalogs of movies recorded off TV (on beta lol).

This is accurate, though by the early 90s some houses had three TVs. The third kind was the one from the late 70s or early 80s that'd recently been replaced by a new "main" TV, which older TV sat in a spare bedroom or basement "rec room" and you had to hit it sometimes to keep it working.
