Simple enough. Unplug whatever source you currently get your tv programming from and replace it with the equivilent output from your vcr. If you dont have an equiv source then you will need to make some changes in mythtv's setup program to make the cap card use whatever format you have available from the vcr. Start watching live tv and manually play a tape to make sure its capturing correctly. Once you know its working. Set up a manual record for a little longer then the length of your tape or recoded material if you know the length. Wait for the recording to start and start the tape. Your all done except for the waiting.
