Comcast Digital Cable--SO Many Problems--Please Help

C and C Forever — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 01:00:38 GMT

Comcast has converted to all digital in my area. This means that I have to have a cable box (never did before--just co-ax connection).

My problem is that I can't seem to connect my VCR (I know--I'm stuck in the 90's ) but it WAS working for me). to this system in any way. I have tried a splitter, different ways of connecting them together, etc. I am very electronically challenged )

All I want to be able to is:

1--Record one show while watching another. (Could before)

2--Do timer recordings when I'm away. (Could before)

3--NOT have to pay an extra monthly fee to the cable co. or Tivo or anything like that.

Could someone tell me what my options are? I can't go with a dish system because of some kind of interference in my area. (Neighbors that have tried it had to change--close to hospital--helicopters, etc.)

I need to keep it as inexpensive as possible. It seems like this "improvement" is worse for me. If I got a VCR/DVD combo with a tuner, would that do it?

Thanks so much!!
