Yes you can
You can if you have another device that has a digital tuner plus the ability to convert digital to analoge, such as a set-top box, digital to analoge convert for over the air TV signals, and a DVD disk recorder with a built-in digital tuner.

With a VHS recorder hooked to the TV. If you are looking to just record off the TV then the best way is to attach either your antenna or your cable to the VCR in connectio and then the VCR out goes to your TV. If you are looking to attach a camera to your VCR and record, the video out of the camera goes to the videl line in on you VCR and the audio out from your camera goes to line audio in on your VCR. Your VCR will need to be on the LINE IN channel to see the output of the camera. You then push record on your VCR and shoot away.

You just signed up for new channels on your cable service The numbers have three digits However when you try to viewrecord these channels they do not come up thru the VCR and you cannot record anythin?
Hi, Your VCR most likely doesn't have the required type of tuner to handle the cable channels. You have two coices. The first is to connect it to the cable box's RF output and record off of the antenna connections or use a set of video/audio cables and record from the cable box that way. With the change to all digital technology, older items like VCR's are going to have to have specialized accommodations for them to contontinue to work with your system. Hope that helps, Cubby Make sure your VCR is on channel 3 or 4, however it's set up.
