high quality hdtv antenna image
BUTTERCUP7
Just got a new hdtv and the channels for high dif are with a decimal like 9.1 instead of just plain 9 but there are no decimals on the vcr so what is one to do to get high dif on the vcr?
Answer
Your VCR only records analog signals*. So if you want to record a digital channel you have to first convert the digital signal to analog with a converter box, cable box, or satellite receiver.
For example, for over the air TV you could buy a cheap coupon type converter box that connects between your antenna and TV. You would set the digital channel on the converter and record the output of the converter on the VCR.
The VCR will only record a standard def version of the original hi def signal, so don't expect that great of picture quality when you play it back on your HDTV.
* There are some rare and expensive VCRs that can record diigtal signals directly, I'm assuming you don't have one.

Can you use an hdtv to view an analog signal?

We don't have cable TV and are looking to buy an HDTV. Will we still be able to receive an analog signal through an antenna? How does that work?
Answer
Yes, HDTVs still have analog 75-ohm inputs (threaded co-ax connector) so you can connect an analog cable or antenna to that input directly. It also contains higher-end inputs such as component, DVI and HDMI to provide a much higher quality picture when connected to an external digital box.
