DTV issues

[Brian Vita]

You will need to get an RF modulator that will take the composite or S-Video
output and place them on (NTSC) channel 3 or 4

But all I want to do is continue using the VCR and DVD player that I already
have.  I have cable, and I assume that if my VCR (which has an analog tuner)
is connected to cable, I'll still be able to record shows with it, just as I
can watch shows with an analog TV.  And I assume that if I connect the
adaptor to a VCR, it will record a program just as it always has.

Since an older VCR doesn't have those connections, I hope there is a regular
input jack to connect a regular coax. 

For that matter, I've occasionally wondered how I would connect a DVD player
to one of my older TVs, which has neither the three-plug video inputs nor an
S-video jack.
