Technology nowadays is truly amazing. One of these stunning new technologies that bring great impacts to our live styles is digital satellite TV systems. Satellite TV systems handle a number of tasks, including communicating with a satellite 22,000 miles above the earth?s surface, unscrambling and encrypted signals, converting the signal into analog or HDTV format as needed by the TV set and splitting out one channel at a time so that the viewer receives only that satellite television channel they are seeking. Digital satellite receivers open up a whole world of TV entertainment with amazing technology. These devices offer features that parents and couch potatoes could only have dreamed of in years past.

So, you can hookup your cable to your VCR, hookup your VCR to your TV w/ the cable. But then hookup your DVD player to a separate input in the back (or sometimes front) of the TV w/ the RCA cables. When you hit the ‘TV/Video’ button on the remote, it will change where it gets the picture and sound from.

———— Basic Setup

NOTE: You don’t want to send your DVD player thru your VCR b/c DVDs are encoded and won’t play right going thru a VCR.

Normally, you watch plain old TV tuned signal. Your signal comes in and your change channels on the TV. Hit the ‘TV/Video’ button and it will switch. If it goes to your VCR, you may see another channel (tuned by the VCR). Hit play on it and then you’ll see the tape. Hit the ‘TV/Video’ button again and it might go to the DVD player. Mess w/ it and see the picture and hear sound from it.

The TiVo and dvd-rec sound both go to the stereo for sound.

Sometimes you want the VCR to tune the channel for itself to record, but not send that image to the TV. Can you guess how? You set the channel on the VCR and handle the recording however you normally do. But you press the ‘TV/VCR’ button to the ‘TV’ setting so it sends the raw signal to the TV.
