Toys 'R' Us 'The Big Guy is Back' commercials (2001)

Two Toys "R" Us commercials exclaiming the return of Geoffrey, their giraffe mascot.

The full VHS tape contains around 4 hours of TNT, NBC on WPXI from October 2001, and CBS on KDKA from January(?) of 2001.
Sections from the KDKA recording face the same problem as my 1999 KDKA-TV footage - noise bars present near the middle of the video, up to where that whole lower frame (field?) is out of sync.

Thanks to the way FM signal decoding works, I was able to see that these noise bars appear because the signal was dropping out consistently - from loud FM whining to quiet hissing in rhythmic fashion. I wonder what causes these sorts of problems upon recording...

The TV programs that play go in order:
- Stepmom (1998) on TNT
- Third Watch on NBC
- Nash Bridges on CBS

Upscaled to 4K for YouTube using Lanczos4Resize and deinterlaced with QTGMC, all within StaxRip.

This archive includes the FM RF copies of the analogue format (VHS). The media was captured with two modified VTImage capture cards (CXADC) at 40MSPS for the video signal, and 10MSPS for the VHS Hi-Fi audio.
This is the original signal off of the medium before processing past initial signal tracking and pre-amplification - a raw master digital copy or medium transfer.
