No, I have mine hooked up. Just run the a/v out to the VCR a/v in.

It's actually kinda cool because the vcr will record a "compressed"
16x9 pic, then you can stretch it back out and watch a 16x9 image.

What kinds of output does Comcast provide on their cable boxes?

component, composite, and I *THINK* DVI. I could be wrong about the
DVI, however. Oh, and RF.

It should work OK but you might be disappointed with the 'less than
NTSC' performance of a VCR. Since I went to a computer digital
recorder with a DVD drive, both the VCR and DVD players haven't logged
more than 10 hours of use in the last 3 years while the TV computer
runs 15-20 hrs a week between recording and playing.

And I hope you're saving me an HD copy of House in case Cameron
doesn't withdraw her resignation! :-)

Say when and where to send it. I have a Christmas one from a 1 1/2
years ago and the season finale from this year. But don't blame me
because Fox can't get you a signal.

It should work fine. Hook up the composite video and left and right
analog audio outs from the box to the VCR. If the box is set to output a
stretched 16x9 picture for HD programs for recording in 4x3 on the VCR,
then you can compress it back to 16x9 with the TV and gain some
horizontal resolution.

Of course it won't be HD or anything nearly as good as a HD DVR, but at
least you'll be able to save the program on tape.
