WELL IT SEEMS U HAVE TWO PROBLEMS :
1ST YOUR rF SIGNAL IS NOT GETTING THRU , THIS IS A ROUND CABLE WITH A SCREW ON END TO IT , THIS ONE MUST 1ST COME INTO YOUR HOME AND GO TO CABLE BOX , THEN LEAVE OUT OF CABLE BOX AND ENTER VCR THEN LEAVE OUT OF VCR AND GO TO RF INPUT OF TV ( HAS TO BE HOOKED THIS WAY WONT WORK ANY OTHER WAY) SET OUTPUT OF VCR TO CHANEL 3 SET OUTPUT OF CABLE BOX TO CHANNEL 3 SET TUNER OF VCR TO CHANEL 3 , AND LAST SET INPUT OF TV TO rf CABLE ,CHANEL 3 , NOW YOU CHANGE CHANELS ON CABLE BOX only
2ND YOUR DVD PLAYER HAS NO RF OUTPUT SO YOU NEED TO CONNECT BY ONE OF THESE MEANS (HDMI, RGB, COMPOSITE) ALL THESE REQUIRE A DIFFERENT CABLE YOU DECIDE , THERE HOOK UP IS PRETTY MUCH ONE WAY SO I WONT ELABORATE ON EACH METHOD , BUT TV NEEDS TO BE SET TO CORESPONDING INPUT TYPE YOU DECIDED ON
If you are on cable, make sure you didn't inadvertently switch off the cable box or switch the TV to HDMI if you are not set up fo it, or unset the chanel 3 setting on the TV so that the cable box can make the chanel selections....Check the owner's nanual, please!
U used the tv remote go into ur tv SETUP.Pick Cable,before u scanning for cable chanels?U have pay cable?Must scan for cable chanels,by setup for looking for cable channels.
Rescan all the channels?Hook the tv and the satalite signal cable in the tv and dish network box correctly check?Go to tv menu.Goto SETUP,pick CH. pick option CABLE enter to rescan all channels.This should have all the channels,belong to the package u order.
make sure you go from the cable box were it says out to the in on the vcr from the vcr you want to come out to the tvnow you can program the the vcr to pick up the cable chanell from the boxthe vcr has to be on chaell 3-4 in the front were it shows what chanell your on then the tv and the vcr are to be on the wright cahells the tv has to line up with the chaell your useing for the vcr3-4 to make this less complicated put a tape in the vcr hit play if its playing you are on the right chanel you do not have to have the vcr to watch cable it will go threw even if vcr is off just have to be right chanel
if you are useing a cabel box you need to split your cable before the cable box with a two set coupler and run the second cable line to the VCR input and this should solve your problem. if you want to record the chanels from your cable box and not watch a diffrent chanel you can leave it hooked as is and select the chanel you want to record with your cable box tunner and leave it turned on, set the vcr to record channel 3 or 4 which ever is the channel you leave your tv tunner on and record that way.

Hope this can help
