How to Program a VCR & Digital TV
VCRs play VHS tapes but also record programming from a live source. If you connect your digital programming source to your television via VCR, it is possible to capture any content you want. However, because the VCR receives the programming and not the television, you need to program the VCR and the digital television together so the VCR is capable of finding all the available stations.
