The easiest way to make it work is to:
1- run your cable into your new VCR to CATV IN.
2-Your VCR should have come with a short length of cable. Connect it from the OUT jack to the TV.
3- Set the TV to either channel 3 or 4- you need to check the VCR manual to see which channel you have to use. Some VCR's have a small switch labeled "channel select"- if so, set it and your TV to the same channel... your choice.
4- Leave your TV on the channel you set above all the time. You will now change your channels using your VCR. You will be able to record whatever you are watching.
You will need to have a VCR with a cable connection on it. You will need to remove the cable connection(if connected) on the TV and connect it to the "cable in" connection on the VCR. Then the coaxiel cable will connect from the "cable out" connection to the cable connection on the television. You will then need to turn the channel on the TV either to channel 3 or 4. Then turn on the VCR and you should be able to watch a tape on the VCR. If your VCR does not have a cable connection on it then you will need to buy an adapter that turns the cable connector into RCA style jacks.
first thing I would do is to make sure your cable box is turned on. if not fixed, make sure you have the correct input. this can be done by viewing all the inputs that the tv has by pressing the input button on your remote until you find a picture. if it is still not working, make sure you have you cable run right. there should be one cable running to the cable box and into the port labeled antenna or input, then anouther labed cable running from the output port to the tv. there might also be a vcr or dvd play inbetween. if that is the case, the cabel running from the cable box should go to the input of the vcr or dvd play and the output line should go to the tv. any equipment inbetween the cable box and tv should be turned on when viewing you cabel tv. you will also have to make sure that any equipment inbetween is running off the cabel input.
if you are useing a cabel box you need to split your cable before the cable box with a two set coupler and run the second cable line to the VCR input and this should solve your problem. if you want to record the chanels from your cable box and not watch a diffrent chanel you can leave it hooked as is and select the chanel you want to record with your cable box tunner and leave it turned on, set the vcr to record channel 3 or 4 which ever is the channel you leave your tv tunner on and record that way.
At a guess the device will only find channels it can detect.
So what is your connection antenna or cable
If antenna then all TV is line of sight and directional
If cable - only the channel's the cable co supply will come down the wire.
