VCRs do work that way when you're connected to an anal-retentive cable service
that scrambles *all* their channels and rabbit ears don't work well in your
particular area.  This is the case in my area of Columbus.

True - it's not the VCR's fault as the original post may imply, but the result
is the same.  Even the usual A-B switch solution won't work in my case since
all the channels are scrambled this way.  You have to rent a separate cable
box to pull this off.
