You're cable TV or Satellite TV provider has to provide you with a dual channel tuner, these are often digital video recorders (DVR's) and have their own recording functionality that also allows you to transfer the recording to a conventional VCR.
There are also methods and tricks you can use to transfer digital content from a DVR using a PC with a video capture card or even using a firewire cable such as with the Motorola DVR's

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.
