Loss of VCR Channels due to Digital Switchover

Jun 18, 2009

- Thanks much. That works fine with my second TV, and I can record one program on one channel as long as I set the cable box to that program (but only one channel and can't watch another while recording). With my primary TV, I can now only record programs on Channels up through 34 in the usual way, but nothing higher. I already have a digital cable box for that tv and the VCR is connected by cable separately to the tv. If I put that on another cable box, the same problem will occur. My goal is to program recordings on different channels, different dates ahead of time before I travel. Thus, my search for a digital VCR (not a Comcast DVR or TIVO). Sounds like a market waiting for a product.
