Re: VCRs and digital transition

My question is, will my vcr record and program as normal after the transition? Will I be able to watch one show and tape another, will I be able to program several shows to record when I'm not home?

The only way you can do all that is if you can record cable programs on your VCR without an outboard cable box.
If you have a separate cable box, the only way you can record one show and watch another is to have two cable boxes, one being dedicated to the VCR.
Having to use a separate cable box for the VCR will nuke the feature of being to record several shows when you're not home. The cable box has to be manually switched to the proper channel before taping begins, unless it has its own built-in timer and controlling functions for the VCR.
