How do I get my VCR to record a show at a certain time through Direct TV?

I have a Toshiba VCR about 4 years old. It has a timer and shows very crisp and clear.

shit, i'll help your sorry gnat loving ass out...

set your vcr's timer (if you are using a timer) to record at say 8pm... now, if your direct tv is set up on channel 3 simply set the vcr to record channel 3... if its hooked up with AV wires then set it to input 1 or 2, whatever it is set up as...

then, you can either leave the direct tv on all day on the channel you want or you can actually set it's timer.... its on the menu list...

Try calling the Direct TV tech support line if you can't figure it out.

you cant record something else while you are watching a certain show on direct tv.. unless you have two receivers.. but then you gotta record off one and watch on another...

direct tv has its drawbacks... but it also gives us sunday ticket... thank you tv god!!!

as for the "menu" i was talking about on the direct tv system... click menu and you get the "programs" etc... drop down list... under there i believe it says "timers"...
