Topic: vcr recording with satellite
This is like retro 90's, lol With a Set Top Box, you can't record one show and watch another unless you have two receivers. To record all your channels you leave your VCR on Channel 3 and hit the TV/VCR button. You should now be able to watch the feed coming out of the VCR which should let you see all of the channels but you still change channels with the receiver. To program a recording you have to use the VCR Schedule function, all of them are different there is usually a program button on the VCR remote. The Receiver has to be left on the channel to record the show you want.
There are so many other better options in this day and age, like using your PC as a PVR with Windows Media Center or get a PVR Receiver from your satellite provider.
