Your VCR's will work fine. From what I understand, all you have to do is route your converter box into the VCR and set your VCR to Channel 3 to record. You just won't be able to record one channel and watch another, unless you also have a separate converter box for the TV just to do that. I've been doing a boatload of research on this.

I'm really, really looking forward to this, but I think I will wait until the price comes down by at least 100$. Until then, I can make do with a cheaper converter box & just keep using my VCR. They didn't say anything about possible subscriptions - I will NOT pay for a subscription just to be able to record shows. In reply to: "EchoStar TR-50: HD DVR for the antenna crowd"
