It's neither my VCR nor my house, so I admit I'm taking the word of my co-worker (whom I have no reason to distrust), but the facts of the matter (as explained by her) are: 1) They had ordinary cable service - no premium channels - and did not receive any such channels. 2) They bought and installed their VCR. 3) They now can get Showtime (but only through their VCR). It seems clear to me that the VCR must be having SOME effect!!! -- Jim ..!houxm!hou2b!sims
