You can use a converter. However, the converter will have to be manually set

Two converters - the Zinwell ZAT-970A and the Dish Network "DTVPal"
offer automatic timers for use with VCRs. Zinwell has 8 timers and
has basic front-panel controls. The DTVPal has 5 timers and the
remote must be used for all functions. I use the Zinwell and it
works quite well.


Hi, Roger;

With the coupons, the converter boxes aren't too bad costwise; but
apparently not all converters can be gotten that way. Do you know if
the Zinwell can be gotten with a coupon? Or to put it another way,
what kind of damage are we looking at without a coupon?
