Do VCRs, PVRs, and other video equipment work with DTV sets?
All DTV sets have at least one composite input (sometimes two or three), and at least one S-video input (possibly more). You can connect your existing VCRs, PVRs, and other accessories to these jacks as you would with a regular TV. DTV sets also have cable-ready analog TV tuners and can be connected to older cable set-top boxes. Combination off-air / satellite set-top boxes from DIRECTV and Dish can tune both analog and digital stations sequentially. A second antenna input may be provided for tuning analog signals off cable, or off-air. (Dont expect satellite tuners to support digital cable!

Also, DTVs usually have an analog TV tuner, so your cable set-top box can also be connected to your DTV. Several of the new set-top boxes like Panasonic’s TU-HDS20 and Sony’s SAT-HD100 have combination analog/DTV tuners built in, and tune both stations sequentially. Some tuners – like Princeton’s new HDT-2000 – have dual antenna inputs (pioneered by RCA’s DTC-100 STB) for two antennas, or for antenna and cable hookups.
