(It's totally moot for me to go into how to connect a VCR to a TV that has a converter box, though, since that's not your situation. ).

Anyone with Dish/Satellite or Cable is fine... as long as x-tra components are presently hooked up correctly.

I hope I win the lottery. Then I'll get the cable-dvr combos and Alan won't have to drive me crazy when he says "I hate this cable box, I don't know how to program it".

Give me a break. I showed him 3 times. He keeps programming stuff that he DOESN'T want, and then he yells "how come the channel changed?"

I picked up the remote and said "you programmed it'.

He then said "no I didn't I HATE THIS NEW CABLE BOX".

I'm sorry I replaced his 10 year old cable box. It loaded up slowly, you had to jump through hoops to get the program guide to load up but nooooo,

HE DOESN'T LIKE NEW THINGS, HE DOESN'T LIKE CHANGE.

Hey, at least he likes my sprouts.

I wonder what he'll be like when he's 70. He's like an old codger now.

I mean, really, what is so hard about pressing the info guide on the cable box?

I should stop talking. My neighbor around the corner calls up her son to come up from the basement and press play on her dvd remote.

I just looked at her and said "you've got to be kidding'.

And when she tried to change the channel on her cable box, she turned it off, then she looked at us and said "I don't know how to use this remote".

She's only had it for 5 years.

Good Lord, help me help these techno challenged people!!

lol
