- First of all this was bought for my grandmother who is using the converter box. I couldn't get it to work on her tv, so i bought it home and hooked it up to my cable and nothing. how it's hooked up is The cable line is in the in from ant and the cord that came with it is out from ant hooked to the back of the tv. I did hook the yellow,white and red cords up but nothing

- No that didn't help. My cable box is hook up to the vcr/dvd player there are no other hook up's. also this is for my grandmother who has no cable jus converter box how do you hook the vcr/dvd up to that.

- It has nothing to do with my cable box. because i can use other dvd/vcr on it and they work. it's this dvd/vcr that is the problem

- p.s to my last commit. I also have the converter box. watch i also hooked it up to. and it didn't work either.

- Ok lets try this again My cable box is motorola dct 700 with a router next to it. I have only one tv, so the cable line comes from the wall and splits in between the cable box and the router. RF IN line from the cable box is hooked into the dvd/vcr ant in. the cord that came with it is hooked up to the bottom that say's out to tv. also the remote doesn't work on my tv.

- Ok then how do you hook it up to the converter box? I have the same problem hooking it up to that to.

- P.S the last thing you sais how do you do that?

If a cable box is not required for cable signal reception, connect the cable line to the ANT. IN connector on the recorder.
If a cable box is required for cable signal reception, connect the cable line to the IN connector of the cable box. Connect a coaxial cable from the OUT connector of the cable box to the ANT. IN connector of the recorder.
To view or record a CATV channel:
  1. Tune the TV to the Recorder output channel (CH 3 or 4).
  2. Set the Recorder channel selector to the cable output channel. (Example: CH3).
  3. Select a channel using the cable converter.
With this connection, you cannot record one program while viewing another.If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not necessary to do Auto Channel Set.

- Can you watch movies from other sources other than the cable? Please give me the brand and model of your cable box.

- Base on your comments, I can certainly say it's the DVD/VCR and what asked you is immaterial to the case. Please note that the signal system of the DVD/VCR are NTSC, DTV standard ATSC or
Clear QAM over cable. Select the appropriate video input mode and the signal system on the TV so the picture from the unit appears on the TV screen.

- I need the brand and model of your TV.
