Like many of you, I tape DS daily, meaning periodic frustrations, cable issues, etc.--all part of the fun. Until recently my cable company had the standard boxes--so you would send the cable into the box, then into the vcr, and then into the tv. OK. So now they have done away with the boxes. I wired the cable directly into the vcr, then into the tv. So how do I tape? Just leave the vcr programmed as usual? Set the tv to the scifi channel and turn it off? Do I reprogram the vcr? Now it's set to tape from ch. 3, which is where you left it with the box. This probably sounds dumb--but before, I'd set the cable box to scifi, turn the tv off, and all would be fine.
Any advice? Sorry for the long-winded question. Hope it's clear.
thanks--
