VCR's don't work that way. If you want to record, say, Channel 7 and watch
while it's being recorded, set your VCR to Channel 7 and your TV to Channel
3 or 4 (depending on which is not being used in your area). If you want to
record Channel 7 and watch Channel 5, set you VCR to Channel 7 and change
the channel selector *on the TV* to Channel 5. Then your VCR was tape one
channel while you watch another.

It's a tad more complicated if you have cable, but if you can get in one
of the two stations via the antenna, then disconnect the VCR from the TV,
tape one channel (via cable), and connect up the antenna to the TV to
watch the other channel just as you would if you didn't have cable *or*
a VCR.

There's nothing especially magical about it all.
