There's almost no chance of getting one to work. Consider that the
digital channel numbers have '.' in them. An older device (like a VCR)
would not know this code.

It's easy enough to alias the channel numbers with old-fashioned
integers. Windows Media Center does precisely this, assigning the OTA
digital channels integer numbers in the 1000 range (e.g. KCAL-DT
appears as channel 1091 on my Media Center PC).

That makes sense. An old VCR won't be doing that either.
