I have been trying to sort out what to do since the middle of last month. Problem solved? Not even close! First, let me tell you about my current system.
I live in a small apartment and have two analog TVs--one in the living room and one in the bedroom. Each is connected to a vcr. The living room tv is also connected to a dvd player and the tv in the bedroom has a built in dvd player. I don't have any cable boxes. The cable comes in, is on a splitter and the two cables that come off that are connected to the vcrs and the vcrs are connected to the tvs.
In doing some research, I have learned that my vcrs won't be able to be programmed to switch channels anymore when I'm away. I'm told that I will have to physically change the channel. I have two vcrs in the first place because when I'm away in the evening I sometimes have different shows that I record on different channels at the same time.
I also record multiple different programs over several days on different channels if I'm away. I did pick up the boxes that Comcast says I will need for my analog sets to read their new digital transmission. I never wanted cable boxes because I don't have any more space. Is there any solution you can think of for me?
I'm desperate and would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have. Feb 21, 7 0 18, 0. First, I didn't have to buy anything new for media center on my PC. I have the new small cable box hooked up there, as well as on the TV in the bedroom. Leave the device to record channel 3 and then put your cable remote to the channel you want to record and manually program the time. For example, set your VCR to Channel 3, use your cable remote to go to the actual channel you want to record, and say you want to record Price is Right off of CBS at 10am - program your VCR for 10am - 11am to record Channel 3, and then use your cable remote to set the channel to the CBS affiliate in your area.
I did find that in order to get the HDTV channels, you need the more expensive box. Thanks very much--this does help to clarify.
I guess I will get the comcast dvr box. Appreciate the hel--Kathy. Jul 3, 1 0 18, 0. I have one cable box and use a combination of an A-B switch and signal splitters.
When I want each TV in my house to tune whatever stations are available, I use the "A" switch which has a direct connection to the cable. When I want to watch a station available only with the cable box on the other TV's, I use the "B" switch which has a direct connection from the cable box. Granted, when using the "B" switch every TV can only get the station to which the converter is tuned. Jul 12, 1 0 18, 0. I have 3 tvs, but only one has a cable converter box.
My other 2 TV's are hooked up to cable outlets directly and have continued to work just fine after the digital cutover. I think Comcast is 'interpreting' the digital signals, and still sending channels through. Neither of my old TV's go above channel 99, so I am not getting the 'digital' versions of the channels, but all the same channels that worked on these tvs still work after the digital cutover.
I am on the extended basic level, so I don't have HBO or other premium channels anywhere. Wolfshadw Splendid Moderator. Aug 3, 2, 44 26, I don't think so.
