Creating your own set-top box
If your television cannot scan Antenna and Cable at the same time, does not have QAM and does not have the Add-on option available, then you can create a set-top by using your DVD , VCR or DVR.Here are the steps :
1 - Connect a 1x2 Splitter to your incoming Coax wire.
2 - Take a piece of Coax Cable and attach it to your television from the Splitter.
3 - Take a piece of Coax Cable and attach it to your DVD or VCR.
4 - Use RCA cables (Red,Yellow,White) to connect the DVD or VCR to the red, yellow,
white connectors on your television.
5 - Use your television remote control to scan in the Antenna Channels. This will pick
up the HU Digital and HD Channels.
6 - Use your DVD or VCR remote to scan Channels. This scan will pick up all the HU
Analog Channels currently broadcast by HU less the Digital and HD.
