I just purchased a Philips DVD/VCR, Model No. DVP3345V/17, for use
with my Samsung LCD TV, Model No. LN-T3253HX/XAA and Cox digital
cable system. Everything is okay except that, when I try to record a
TV program, I get a blue screen. However, I can record the program
and it plays back fine (both picture and sound). What do I need to
do to be able to view the program that I am recording? Thanks.

You're gonna have to tell us how this whole thing is wired. Cable
directly into DVD/VCR? Cable into a cable STB? DVD/VCR - TV....how?
Etc....

Okay, and thanks for the response. The cable is outputting to an RF
modulator (necessary because my TV has only a coax input), the
modulator is outputting to the TV, and the DVD/VCR's audio/video (red,
white, and yellow plugs) outputs are connected to the modulator's
audio/video inputs.

So in other words you can't watch the programme you're recording? Sounds
like the device is muting its output during the recording process. Philips
probably have a reason for this. ;-)

But the only reason most would want to do this would be if the recorder
accessed different progs to the TV - like if it had a tuner for digital
progs and the TV didn't?
