Welcome to the DTVUSA Forum. You will need two (2) CECBs a splitter and an A/B switch. The line from the antenna goes to the splitter. The two outputs on the splitter go to the CECBs. If your TV has 2 inputs on the back, you connect the out of one CECB to the #1 input on the back of the TV and the output of the other CECB to the #2 input on the back of the TV. If your TV doesn't include two inputs you will need to incorporate an A/B switch.

You can also do it with one CECB.

Put the antenna into the CECB.

Then a jumper from the output of the CECB to the input of the VCR.

Then another jumper from the output of the VCR to the TV.

-----

Limitations are you can only then record what you are also watching.

With two as above you can watch one station and record another.
