Question:
I have to use componet jacks for the HD signals - the problem is that I can only recieve basic cable channels on the dvd.vhs player/recorder - I want to be able to recieve all the channels on my set top box on my dvd/vhs player/recorder also
Answer:
Looks like your only option is to split the component signal out from your set top box to the TV and the recorder, then connect the output from your recorder to your TV for playback.
Another bummer: your recording and TV viewing options are limited to what your set-top box is set to at the moment, unless you split the coax signal to your set-top box and recorder and make sure you only record your basic analog cable channel while watching your digital or HDTV channel at the same time.
