tried the digital-to-analog converter box feeding into the VCR. No go. The analog tuner just wouldn't pick up the signal coming from the d-t-a because it was expecting channel 2 (for example) and was receiving channel 2.1.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow |

Curious.
I haven't tried this myself. But I have a friend who is using an over the air digital to analog converter with an ancient B&W TV and it worked fine.
It's supposed to work with VCRs - http://www.fcc.gov/g...ter-box-setup-vcr HTH. Cheers, Scott. |

Don't use the RF.
Use composite video. All STBs I've seen have a composite out and all VCRs I've seen have had composite in.

Might not matter
Run a DVD or VCR into a second VCR to try to copy stuff and it won't work. They encode voltage pulses in the VBI to screw up the picture. http://en.wikipedia....opy_Protection.29 It wouldn't surprise me if digital TV does the same.

Never seen it with DVB-T.
But that's here in Australia with boxes also intended for most of the world. The US would be somewhat different on that score, both legally (remember the "broadcast flag"?) and technically (ATSC instead of DVB).
