Your comments are welcomed.

mdlp, I got a digital video camera for Christmas and made a short home video. The camera has a composite output, so I first copied the video to a VCR. Then I copied from the VCR to Tivo using an RF cable and channel 3. For a home video this seems to be working O.K., and I can monitor the material.

I assume there is some loss of picture quality, but it is still good enough for my purposes. I do not have a cable box so could not try your suggestion.

How did your experiment turn out?
