I've just bought a new dvd cabinet that'll take 120 dvds - so that's one boxful sorted! As soon as I get a DVD version of something that I've got on commercial tape, I dump the commercial version. That leaves the stuff that I taped off-air - some of which is now available on dvd, but the off-air tapes usually have bits and pieces (sometimes even adverts) that I'd like to keep. This is going to mean going through all the tapes in turn, copying off the stuff I want to keep onto disc and then making the decision on whether to dump the 'original'. Fortunately I have a card index of everything on tape - so in theory I can put the 'bits' (things like odd horse races and one-off TV shows that aren't going to be released commercially or repeated) onto disc - but it's going to be a long and complicated job...
Or you could follow the 'if I haven't re-watched it in a year it may as well be thrown out' principle...
