Connect the output of your converter to the VCR's input (preferably using composite cables). Connect the composite outputs of the VCR to the composite inputs of the HDTV. None of the converter boxes will pass through any signals when they are on. You have to split the incoming antenna signal to watch one channel while recording another.

You need to split the downlead from your antenna. Connect one to the converter box, the other to your TV. I would use any non-RF output from your VCR to your TV, mostly because the video quality is much better via composite than coax. Use the TV to switch between your digital tuner and VCR.
