do you just get the fuzz on channel 3 even with your vcr on and tv
video set to video?

or menus


Yup, RF as in seen he

This tv doesn't have PIP, so no worries there. When the RF cable is in,
direct to the tv, or via the VCR, it is a black screen, and the channel
numbers show up, as does the audio that accompanies the respective
channel. I suppose I should have mentioned that. I tried rescanning for
channels, and it just brings them back with audio. This is the old
style tv, the cable comes from outside, from the cable company as you
said, and to the vcr/tv.

Using the tv with video output (composite) from the VCR is just fine
for now, but eventually maybe it would be worth fixing, as nothing else
is wrong with the TV. Unless it would cost too much, since CRT TVs are
going the way of the Dodo. Thanks again!
