To get the signal to the VCR the only thing you need to do is add a splitter to the coax that is currently feeding your converter box. Now run one coax from there to the converter and one to the VCR. Done!
If the VCR is not currently connected to the TV through a Video Control Center you may need to add an A/B switch to choose to watch TV or VCR but that's pretty easy, too.

I've made two online requests for my free coupons to purchase these boxes and so far none have arrived. I've given my Escapees' mailing address and the online site confirmed this was a good address, but so far, no luck. I'm wondering if others have had this problem and how they got around not having a full time "bricks and sticks home"? Or maybe there is another site which I should be using to order these coupons?

Hi Bob,
I ordered my coupons and it took 3 to 4 weeks for them to arrive. I purchased my 2 boxes this evening. It is supose to rain here this weekend, so it is a good project for a rainy day. For me, BJs' Wholesale Club has the best deal. The GE box, with analog pass through was only $10. (plus tax) after the coupon. All the other stores (including WalMart) wanted more $s.
