OK, so I'm not trying to do a wacky alternate input for my VCR. I figured if I just attached it to the tuner and tuned to channel 3 (like you do with the tv!) it would 'just work' I get snow. If I push VCR/TV I get (grainy) tv still coming in correctly when using 'Watch TV' But if I try to watch the VCR output, just snow. IVTV FAQ suggests that snow means signal, but not tuned to a channel. If my VCR isn't 3 on my PVR-250, any guesses what channel it might be? I looked through the archives. I tries the suggestion to switch inputs with test_ioctl -p. Tried 0-9. I get black screen on some, white horizontal lines on others. On 4 (the one that works for myth) I get snow. This seems like a dumb question to me, I really thought it would work without problems. If anyone has suggestions on recording VCR output through my tuner input, I would be most grateful. gabrielle
