If you VCR does not have a digital tuner you are going to have to put a digital tuner box on it - about $50 - to be able to bring in digital signals though you will only get the basic channels as in the broadcast networks. It can be done. I have one at home set up like this. What you cannot do is get full cable unless your cable company provides a cable decoder box with analog out connections - which I also have set up from my cable company - they charge per box but this is half the monthly charge than for the DVR box. Also you can connect an antenna to the same digital tuner box and bring in bring in a lot more as there are many digital over the air networks - some better than what is on cable - you will need a decent antenna to do that.
