It is the signal from the 4 local stations that is the problem, because you can record all others ok. Borrow another VCR and try to record them, if its the same tell the people who run the local channels that they are losing viewing figures, because their channels cannot be recorded.
The DVD player is plugged into one of the television's input channels, and the satellite is plugged into a different channel. You will have to take either your television's remote (not the staellite remote) or find a button on your television itself, and press a button that says "input," "source," "video," or "TV/VCR" and find the correct channel on your television that corresponds to the DVD player. If you give me the model # and manufacturer of your television, I can tell you exactly which button to press.
check to see if you have it on the correct input with cable connector channel up or down. the fact that you have picture on other inputs tells me the signals not getting through somewhere. and it possible its not being routed correctly. so try changing inputs on remote also try searching for channels with cable plug up to it. Physicaly there may be a tuner issue.
Usually a snowy picture means that you have a bad ground connection. You should see that some channels are beter than others. Verify that the cable connection is good. Try a different cable if you can. If that has no effect, than we need to start looking at the tuner itself. If you can change channels but just have a poor picture, chances are that a resolder of the tuner section will resolve the problem.
Like your computer a tv has the same type of circuits, & sometimes they get glitches, maybe, but i feel you might be starting to have a problem in the 'DMD" board in your tv. Maybe not; unplug tv for 10 min to 24 hrs. I am a mit factory auth tech. good luck,.
