I watch everything through the cable box anyway.  I also have the VCR 
Rabbit, a device they were selling back in the 80s and early 90s 
which sends the VCR output down the line to another TV over a very 
thin wire.  It even allows you to use the remote at another location. 
When the VCR isn't being used, the VCR output is the cable signal.  
It's perfectly legal, and it allows me to watch TV or VCR at any of 
three locations.
