How do you connect the antenna, the TV and a VCR so I can record shows? null

Question

If your VCR and TV have an S-video or component connections (red, white yellow RCA Cable), just Connect the antenna to the coax port on the TV and hook up the VCR. If your VCR only has a coax connection, you’ll need a coax splitter, inexpensive device with “IN” ports for the antenna and VCR, and one “OUT” port from the splitter to the TV. Easy peasy!

Using an external digital tuner between the antenna and the VCR, you may be able to accomplish a setup in which you can record using the VCR, but there is a much easier setup available with modern technology.

I recommend a DVR instead since you can connect an antenna directly to the DVR and then connect the DVR to the TV.

I asked that same question years ago and found out that you can only record shows with cable TV.
