I've spent the past two nights configuring my new TV, cable box, and DVD/VCR. So far, I can. . .
I can't, however, watch anything through the VCR. I get sound but no picture, which makes me think either a connection is in the wrong spot, or I need one more cable I didn't know I needed. Tomorrow I'm going to stop by my parents' (they have all the same components except the HD stuff) to take a look at where all their cables are connected.
I taped last week's White Collar on my old TV/VCR, but I can't watch it. Rats. Guess I'll start on E.B. before I go wash dishes and try to get myself to bed at a decent hour.
- watch TV
- watch HD channels (woo-hoo!)
- watch DVDs

Still, I'm very nervous of what will happen during the Fios set-up. Will he set up anything but the tv? This stuff is so complicated!
Or video input selection, but puzzling through that kind of stuff is best done on site. Good luck!

Dave--the TV seems "aware" of which inputs have connections and dims the ones with no cords. . . that said, I have two video input options when I should have only one. Um, I think. Based on what my parents' setup is, I am hoping that plugging the video cable into the cable box will fix it.
Annie--thanks! It is kinda fun. :)
