Then it can record off of that! You can still tune in analog TV stations on the VCR (until February 2009 that is, assuming you're in the USA) and record them. Make sure the antenna is hooked up to the VCR's antenna input. Then tune the program in with the VCR, not the TV.

Or just connect up to the Newer DVDs.... But what I'd really want to do is wait until a really good HD--DVR--DVD burner is created... And I doubt that will happen..... As for the VCR....don't expect it to function too long. You'll get the OLD TV stations until they shut off the analog signal.... I think I’d get one of the new DVRs….

But what I’d really want to do is wait until a really good HD–DVR–DVD burner is created…

As for the VCR….don’t expect it to function too long. You’ll get the OLD TV stations until they shut off the analog signal….

Run the coax cable from the wall-socket to the VCR RF Input. (The cable is male to male) 2. Then run a coax cable from the VCR RF Output to the TV. (The cable is female to male) 3. Put TV on AV channel you have connected to. (Composite) 4. Now tune the VCR to receive TV channels. 5. To record - put your VCR on channel you wish to record and then press record. If you like you can now take the TV off its AV channel and watch a different free view channel while recording your nominated channel.(Don't change channel on VCR , change it on TV). Hope this helps you out and I haven't confused you too much. 1. Run the coax cable from the wall-socket to the
