    I think.....

    I don't know what the A/B inputs of your cable box are.  I do know that
most new t.v.  and VCRs are 'cable ready'.  This means that the T.V.  and
Cable box should be able to understand any UNSCRAMBLED singals comming from
the cable in the wall.  There is usually a menu that you say you have cable
or a tv antenna connected.  If you have cable...  then your channels go
from 2 to 100+.  If you say tv antena, you get 2 - 69.  You HAVE to have
the cable box to descramble scrambled programs.  A cable ready tv and vcr
won't descramble a scrambled picture.  I think that all of your 'basic'
channels are not scrambled.  I'm sure that most of the movie channels are.
don't know about the rest.

    I think... that is...
