Assuming a cable company is going to make sure their new boxes work properly with a VCR is like assuming a new fax machine supports pulse dialing. They would like to either sell you a DVR for every room, or, failing that, home networking equipment so that you can stream recorded programs from the DVR to a box that doesn't record. (DirecTV is very close to having this exact model.) -- Jim Ellwanger <train...@ellwanger.tv> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
