They didn't tell you that because it isn't true. *The output from a

Only 2 downsides that I can see to using a digital converter box with
an analog-tuner VCR:

- No more watching one channel while recording another.

- Not possible to program your VCR to record shows on different
channels at different times. You gotta leave the VCR on channel 3 (or
4). Unless they start selling converter boxes that you can program to
change channels at specific times, or you buy a fancy universal remote
that can learn your converter box codes and do the job for you.
