I have a sony vc20
http://reviews.designtechnica.com/review2700.html
It is basically a little black box that can accept a Composite or S-Video signal and burn it directly to DVD.

It works fine if unplug my TV/Cable system and rewire everything directly into the littel box.

However, my goal with this device is to record my old Tivo shows, perhaps even as I am watching them in real time.

My Cable box has two composite outs (as well as s-video)

-I plugged my TV into the "TV Out" coposite (as usual)
-I plugged the new Sony box into the "VCR out" composite
-The little Sony says "Receiving Signal"

But nothing records.

Am I correct to assume that my cable box would output two signals at the same time? One to the TV and an identical one to the VCR/(Sony) at the same time?

The majority of cable/sat boxes you can only use one output at a time....normally you need to split the signal, like a coxail splitter if you were using a coxail but you can't with this. The only suggestion I have is to run it threw an audio reciever and that way you split the signal by composite, componet your choice.
