Hi,

That's interesting. It is the first I ever heard of older VCRs not having a tuner, still, I have not seen all of them.

Also you refer to your TV as standard definition. You do mean digital? Edit: Yes you do, if it gets Ch44.

The reason for my confusion is that VCRs belong to the analogue TV era, and many, even most, of those TVs did not have a signal output from their own tuners.

Anyway, whatever the truth of that, I was going to suggest that the tuner in the VCR (if it has one) is certainly analogue, and you may not be able to get a good analogue picture for Ch2 where you are, but a good signal for Ch2 digital does come in, on the TV.

Sorry if I just confused things further

Cheers
