    Go to someplace like Radio Shack and get a three way splitter and another coax cable. From the Sat receiver out you run into one side of the splitter, and from the vcr to the other side of the two legs of the splitter. From the single side of the splitter you go to the TV input. Done. If you want to use the Vcr for recording, then you need to be out of the receiver, into the vcr, out of the vcr to the TV
