I just bought a dvd HD recorder to replace my vcr. Do I set it up just like the vcr and have the dvd recorder channel set to 3 or 4? The manual shows to run a channel setup on the recorder to obtain all the channels from the cable but I would think that is only necessary if you are connect cable directly to unit and not using a digit cable box. Please straighten me out. Also will using a cable box eliminate me from recording one program and watching another as it did with my vcr?

Two things.

One of my rules are, "Feed every tuner." Meaning that you should use a 2-way splitter to run a signal to the cable box and the DVD recorder.

This alows you to watch one channel and record a differnt channel!

The only channels you would have to watch while you record would be the premium channels (ie HBO).

I have a VCR Recorder and a cable box and want to watch one show and record the other non scrambled station.

I understand the "Feed Every Tuner" but what happens after that; do I connect the cable box to the VCR and the VCR to the TV. In other words how do I complete the connection? It is an old TV and I only have one "In Feed" on the TV.

Thanks
