VHS video recorders are standard definition recorders and have only an analog input and output. To record to a VHS deck, you will need to connect a composite video and audio source to it. Normally, this will be three RCA jacks or a scart connector on the back of the deck.

Be aware that compared to modern recorder, the quality is very poor, tapes are hard to get hold of and old tapes are prone to damage and loss of signal. With so many low cost digital recorders on the market today, using a VHS deck is probably only justified for nostalgic reasons.

How do you record a TV show from the TV to the VCR with no camera connections?

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.

Can a DVD VCR recorder without a tuner still record tv shows?

I believe that you can use your cable turner or the TV turner to record TV Shows. It all in the setup for RCA style inputs into the DVD/VCR from outputs from the cable box or TV if they are available. You can only record TV shows that are playing on the TV/Cable Box and if they do not have outputs setting up the DVD/VCR to record is not possible. The single channel use prevents you from watching one show and recording another on that TV. This is what I was doing before I got the DVR on my cable box and now I fast forward past all the commercials.

Yes, you can as long as you have the coax cable connected to the VCR first and then to your TV. Some TVs have RCA A/V outputs also and you can connect a VCR to them. Even better is to use the RCA A/V connections from the cable box to VCR, VCR to TV.
