The antenna booster didn't work. I have pinnacle installed and click to dvd, etc. None of the programs can find the vcr input. I have tried various cable conbinations. The only way it sees it is as tv and that won't play.

I put a tuner card in my old vaio and Lilfeview software. Using the composite input to the tuner and a cable to the audio in it plays them fine and puts them on the hard disk. When they play back they are not quite right. Any movement is distorted; kind of like the old days of isdn tv.

I see that Pinnacle has software for the purpose "Razzle" or dazzle or something like that. I also saw a new program at Frys that says vhs to dvd. Those might work better but the basic problem is to recognize the vcr.

I would be willing to get an unscrambler box if I knew where.
