I have a TV/VCR & TV tuner that I would like to hookup so i could
record from my vcr at times and my tv tuner's pvr. The TV has only
inputs, and so does the TV tuner, but vcr has both. Is there a rule of
thumb on how to start such a setup? I suspect it has to start with the
VCR, because it has both..correct me if I am wrong please...then if
that's true, where do I go from there ? BTW, all inputs and outputs
are RCA, but not on my TV tuner..they are the mini jacks, I believe u
call them. Thanks

Gladly, give the model numbers...but fail to see how that would
help...the vcr is rca, the tv is an lcd hdtv, and the tv tuner is
Norwich. The vcr is rarely used, but over 5 years old, the tv is one
year old ( made in China ) isn't everything these days made in China?
and the tuner is a couple of years old.

We need to know the model numbers, not the makes of the items so we can help
research for you the best way of hooking it up.
