I just purchased two Magnavox TB100MW9 DTV Digital to Analog Converter boxes. I spent about 1 1/2 hours trying to set it up with one of our TV's. I do not have cable, just a multi directional TV aerial. I followed the directions to a "T" for setting up the connections to include a VCR. Everything went the way the manual said except for two things:
(1) I cannot get NBC channel 4 or the PBS stations even after trying to add them manually. It just keeps saying "no signal". Bull no signal! I am close to New York City, so signal strength (especially for NBC) should not be a problem.

(2) My VCR won't work with this converter box. I followed the wiring setup as shown in the manual. I even tried different wiring setups. Nothing works. What good is this if I can't record or watch TV programs using my VCR?

Has anyone had similar problems with channel selection and VCR?
