I have a JVC VCR, Philco DVD, Direct TV Satellite receiver & APEX Tv with multiple lines (red/yellow/white). I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a Direct TV rep and could not get the DVD to work. She said the DVD palyer was no good. Yet.. I took it into another room and hooked it to a TV and it worked perfectly. Is there a way to get step by step directions and maybe pictures to figure out how to get it to work? Teh DVD player does not have the right connectoer to plug the sattalite cable into it, but the VCR does,

First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

Is the DVD a recorder? Do you want to record from the Direct TV?
