Novel,



I watch OTA and have a VCR wired into my sysytem. Here's a guess on how

you can do this. Your antenna should connect to you digital convertor box..

The convertor box heads to the VCR in. The VCR out heads to an A/B switch

box, as does the cable box. The A/B box heads to the TV.

The problem is he apparently doesn't have an OTA converter box because
he's been using cable. Even if he gets a converter box, which are
probably pretty cheap by now, I'm not sure how useful that would be.
The biggest use for VCR is recording programs on various channels at
various times. Can you do that with the converter boxes, ie program
them to tune channel x at time y?
