[my solution to use a splitter and switch box to run cable into vcr and tv]
> [vidiots reply that I should have considered that British TV is UHF]
I don't understand the problem. If British cable is on UHF instead of VHF,
then aren't their VCR's cable ready and made to pick up *uhf*?
Most VCR's in the states are cable ready for US cable. I assumed that
British VCR's would be set up for British cable.
If this is the case then my solution still stands. Run the cable directly
to the VCR, or if he has movie channels (scrambled), then use a splitter and
a switch box to select whether or not the vcr gets a direct cable feed or
a feed from the box.
