how do I connect my in line recording vcr
There is a very good description at TV.About.Com of how to connect various peripheral electronics to an older TV set with only one connector. If you don't have cable, you could skip step 1 and just hook an RF modulator (available at electronics stores for around $25) to your TV set. An RF modulator is basically a multi-input box that lets you hook several devices to your TV set. If you want to hook up your VCR to a digital-to-analog converter box in order to record TV shows, connect the converter box to your VCR and then connect the VCR to your TV. This .pdf file from the Federal Communications Commission has a very good description of how to connect your TV to both a VCR and an antenna - Note, however, that at the last step, if your TV only has one antenna input and not the red-white-yellow inputs, you may need an A-B switch so you can go back and forth between the VCR and the antenna. Some of the higher-end (not coupon-eligible) digital-to-analog converter boxes due on the market will have more inputs and outputs to make the process of connecting peripheral devices a little easier.

- We bought a new digital TV at X-mas time and we do not receive consistent signal and lately none at all. The digital stations we did get were 5.1, 5.2 and occasionally the PBS HDTV. We live on Rt. 137 near the China/Winslow line. Can you help us solve this?
