Will I still be able to record off the television with my VCR after the mandated change over to digital TVs?

Question

I do not wish to have a Tivo or DVR recorder since most of what I record I watch once. And I am not hooked up to cable or satelite. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

Unless you have a TV with a digital tuner, you will have to buy a digital-to-analog signal converter and hook it up between your antenna and your VCR. You can go to www.dtv2009.gov to get a $40 coupon for one of these devices. If you do this, you should still be able to record TV from your VCR.
