If you don't have more entries, you could try to use a SCART switching box. This is one, but there are many others. There are also connectors going from scart to R / W / Y and vice versa.
O.K. next to the antenna output on the VCR, sometimes is a modulator. Tuned in to a certain channel. Most to the time there is a little screw to fine tune the frequency it is transmitting. So if your TV has an analoge antenna entry, you could try to hook that up with a coax antenna cable, put the VCR in Menu mode and search on the TV all analog channels, to find the signal. Even when you find a bad signal, try adjusting it with the little screw on the VCR.
No screw or no modulator on the VCR and you can forget everything above.
Harrie, thank you for the assistance. I will give the Scart sitwching box a look and see if it can help me out. The last switching box I tried did not do the trick but who knows maybe this one will. I can swtch between channels 3 & 4 on the vcr but the tv has a station number 4 already for one of the loco :) stations.
Sorry, one of my comments is not here anymore.

When your TV still can work with the old analog channels and toy VCR has a modulator, it is worth trying them to hook up with a coax cable. then put the VCR in menu mode and let the tv search all channels. even when the channel is not 100%, perhaps you can fine tune the frequency with the little screw on the modulator.

James,
Televisions come factory with the ability to have channel 03. On your remote you will notice a button labeled "input", press this button until your television reaches ANY numbered channel. You will pass through "HDMI 1, HDMI 2, INPUT" etc etc, continue pressing input until you reach a screen that displays a number at the top of the screen. Generally it is defaulted to 03.. if not, once you're on that screen just use the remote and type in "03". This will bring you to your desired channel.
Best of luck

Forgot to mention I already tried using the Channl selector with and without the DVD and/or the VCR hooked up. I also have tried using a switch box to do it with but the tv will not recognize the other one when switched until I go into the menu and input its information (either way when switching between them). Thank you.
