Re: Need help with my VCR/DVD Combo[moved from other h/w]
Patience is a virtue...
I could not get much info off the net regarding your particular unit so I can't say for sure, but since it does seem to have a tuner, it should be able to see and record an ordinary cable signal. That said, your cable provider may be sending a signal that needs one of their boxes to decode. What do you get if you hook the cable from the wall directly up to the TV? Can it tune stations? If yes, then its the Trutec. If no then its probably the cable and you'll need to call them to see what's up.

Re: Need help with my VCR/DVD Combo[moved from other h/w]
The Cable IS connected from the wall to the tv. I don't have a cable box at all.
I'll try to see if I can hook up the cable to my unit and then into the tv then. Soon as I wake up a bit |

Re: Need help with my VCR/DVD Combo[moved from other h/w]
if you cannot get the signal in you will not be able to record it,if there is no socket if there is a tuner you may be able to get it modified
