All you need to do is run a coaxial cable from your set-top-box or TV antennea to the back of your VCR's "RF" or "ANT" in jacks. When you find something that you want to record, simply tune to that channel and press the record button on your VCR unit or remote control.

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.

How to record movies from a laptop to a VCR?
This is going to be tricky. First you need to have a VHS player connected to a TV to be able to record. Next, you will need a graphics card with a video out, or you'll need to buy a PC to TV scan converter. With either one of these, you'll be able to play the movie on your TV while you are recording the VCR. Please note, that playing PC files on your TV will not have the same quality as your monitor, so there will be noticable quality degradation.

Yes. You can either record a movie or show with the provider's DVR, or you can record via VCR or other recording device.
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.
