Re: I'm getting free digital cable!
Wow, I would have never thought of that. I wonder if I could split the cable - 1 run goes into the digital cable box (and then the TV), and then the other run goes into my VCR. I know I'd only be able to tape the regular programming (not digital), but that might be a solution for the common channels. I guess I'll play with it. Hey, it's free, I'm not complaining!

| Our cable runs through the digital cable box then runs out of the box to the vcr and from the vcr to the t.v. As for the digital box if your t.v. is digital you might not need the box. If thats the case you might not have this issue at all. Let me know if your t.v. is digital cable ready and if you can record and watch another channel. If that works I'll be buying a new digital t.v. even though I already bought 2 new vcr's for my other t.v's. 
*Edit; I'm glad your getting it for free!

That's exactly correct. Bring the cable into a splitter, run one cable to the TV Antenna In and the other to the Digital Box >>VCR>>Video In on the TV. You can then record anything out of the Digital Box and watch anything that's coming in on the TV. |
