    Thanks Garmoon. I really appreciate both you guys. I just finished recording a dvd and it worked out fine. Quality is not the greatest but it is good enough. I can record my uhf religious programming in analog and can now do the dtv recording through the converter box. Definitely not the quality we got before dtv; however, if I just wait long enough, the technology will probably kick in and there will eventually be tons of stuff on the market that will give us better options.

    Thanks again for your input.

    @marionw

    now you can split the cable and run one end straight to your TV tuner with over the air digital signal so you can enjoy the OTA HD signal on your HD TV and only use the converter box to when you want to record.

    Glad you got it sorted we're glad to help here. Now part 2:

    to HD TV digital antenna signal in
    Cable from Antenna>cable splitter>
    to Digital Converter Box> VCR>
    HDTV (like you have it now)

    You need a good signal to split it, and a quality splitter too.

    Edit: Above sequence is jumbled on the proper connection

    Garmoon ...I finally got around to picking up a splitter. Wow ... the recording quality has improved considerably both hdtv and uhf. Thanks to you and Dailun for your expertise. God bless you both!!!
