    Connecting digital cable box to vcr/dvd player
    I just upgraded to a digital cable box and now I can't record with my vcr. I have a vcr/dvd player combo. The cable company tells me that I can only record the station that I'm watching. Obviously, that defeats the purpose. So how do I connect these things so that I can be watching one station, while simultaneously recording another?
    Thank you,
    George
