Record VCR Programs With New Digital Signal

How to record programs with new digital signal after February 17, 2009.

How are we going to record programs with the new digital signal? Your VCR doesn't register the new digital channels 3.1 or 21.1 etc.

A: First of all, if your TV is hooked to satellite or cable, you won't need to change a thing.

If it isn't connected to cable or satellite, you will be able to continue using your VCR to record your favorite shows even after the federal government requires broadcasters to cease analog TV signals on Feb. 17.

You know the old joke about the time on the VCR flashing 00:00 continually because people can't figure out how to setup the machine to record? Well the job of recording to VCR will become a lot trickier if your TV is drawing its signal from broadcast stations.

First, you'll need to purchase a converter box. The government, in an effort to pacify the masses as it took away our ability to use all our televisions, VCRs, DVRs and whatever other means we have had to watch TV over the airwaves has "given" us coupons to use that might cover close to 90% of the cost of a converter box.The converter box will transform digital broadcasts into analog signals that can be handled by your TV as well as your VCR.

As you've noticed if you already have your converter box, your old VCR can't display the numbers for the new digital signals. But the converter box can. You'll be able to record programming on the VCR: It'll record the channel you are tuned to on your converter box.

If you use a single converter box, you can watch and record only one channel at a time.

Connect your equipment this way: Your antenna goes to the converter box, which goes to the VCR, which goes to the TV.

If you use two converter boxes, you can watch one channel while recording a different channel.

Tune your VCR to channel 3 or 4 (follow the instructions in the converter box manual), and set your TV to display video from your VCR. Using the remote that comes with your converter box, follow the on-screen set-up guide to scan for available digital TV channels.

You can get your coupons for your converter box here: www.dtv2009.gov or call 1-888-388-2009.

October 24th, 2007: Massive evacuations of record numbers of people in Southern California because of wild fires. The largest evacuation in California history. Hundreds of houses destroyed. Insurance will probably cover the replacement of their houses and belongings. The only insurance that will replace their precious photo collection is if they had their slides and photos digitized and have copies of them stored in a safe deposit box or at a friend or relative's house.

The way we look at pictures has changed. Kodak doesn't even manufacture slide projectors anymore. Now we have DVD players and digital video projectors and devices that allow us to hookup our digital cameras to our PC's and TV sets to view our home movies and pictures. What about all your slides, negatives and prints? Your slides, negatives and prints have not changed. They are susceptible to fading, mold and mildew, flood, fire, hurricane and just plain neglect. There are probably millions of people in the Gulf Coast that are wishing they had gotten their photos converted to digital before Hurricane Katrina, last year.
