What is so hard about a direct Audio Video Connection using RCA cables? My god, they are color coded. Look I know you were able to record, but do you want it done half ass or done right? Start over! Get 2 sets of Red, White,Yellow RCA cables. Length you will need can only be determined by you, one must reach from the DTV receiver to the VCR, and the other must reach from the VCR to the TV. Plug one end of the RCA cables to the mathing color in the OUT of the DTV box. Take the other end of that same cable and match the colors on the IN of the VCR. Take the other cable and match one ends colors to the OUT of the VCR and the other end to the IN on the TV (or the yellow video cord to the TV and the Red and White audio cord to your stereo Amplifier Video Input! Put your TV on either....INPUT 1, LINE1, or 00 depending on the type of TV, Put the VCR on Ch. "Line in, Line 1, Aux, whatever your VCR uses to access a direct line in, usually found if you flick channels, between the highest channel and the lowest channel. If you find this confusing, ask someone for help, but don't live with the Coax hookup....yuck!!

I have both hooked up. Both work fine. Coax and A/V. I was originally going to explain how to hook up an A/V connection, but figured Coax was easier and faster to do.
