Re the digital cable box - I only have one, and it is in the living.
Re the tv/vcr/computer in the bedroom - Yes. Everything works.
So if I am understanding what you're saying (and I could be way off here), I should have:
Main cable into house, going into a splitter.
From that splitter:
- one cable should head into the bedroom with the tv/vcr/computer.
- one cable should go to another small splitter.
From that splitter:
- one cable should go directly to the VCR in the living room.
- one cable should go directly to the digital box.
Then a people of cable cord goes directly from the VCR to the TV.
Is that correct? Will I then be able to record the regular channels on the VCR? (Is there any way I can set it up so that I can record the regular channels, plus the digitals channels, on the vcr?)
But if the only cable going to the TV is the one from the VCR, doesn't that mean I won't be able to view any digital channels on the TV (since the orig. cable is split to go to the VCR and digital box separately, rather than from the digital box, to the vcr, to the tv)?
Oh boy - I'm starting to confused myself here again. This is way more confusing than I anticipated.
I did try calling the cable company, but my confusion seemed to rub off on them, so I didn't get anywhere.
On another note, when I was looking at splitters, the only options seemed to be cheap or expensive: either $2 or $37. Would the $2 work just as well?  |
