Regarding my recent note on a friend picking up Showtime on
their new VCR:  at least one person has responded that this
is not possible, that any premium channel being picked up through
a VCR must not be filtered.  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!!!
