A correction from my original post on this subject:

I got an email from someone (I discarded the message as I has assumed
it was posted to rec.video; it wasn't as far as I can tell yet)  who
said there are now VCRs that have 2 RF inputs for A/B cable (or for
single cable or antenna plus another source, such as a small dish)
that can be controlled by the internal VCR programming.  I seem to
recall the brand as Mitsubishi (sp?), but I'm not 100% sure.  I would
expect this to be a higher end, more expensive model.  Perhaps others
can provide more details, or know of other models.  Gary E
