I have one DTV converter box connected already to my tv and vcr,but I want to be able to record a different channel from the one I am watching. How do I make all the connections from antenna to tv with a 2nd DTV converter connected to my vcr?
 
I'm assuming you are using an OUTDOOR antenna
Put a 2 way splitter (digital quality) anywhere between antenna and first DTV box.
Hook back up first box (with another coax cable or connectors)
Hook up new coax cable to 2nd converter
Either coax or Red Yellow Black to VCR
Either coax or Red Yellow Black to TV
Select proper input with both VCR (A/V or channel3/4) and also TV
Check for signal on weakest channel (splitting the cable weakens the signal)
Enjoy!
