Hi Gonk;

Yes, I do have the E-30. Here's how I have things hooked up: Satellite receiver connected to Video 1 (in); Video 2 analog (out) to E-30; S-Video 2 out to L1 S-Video( in) on E-30; S-Video (out) on E-30 to S-Video 2 ( in) on 1050. Then I have the VCR connected directly to the E-30. This way I can record a DVD to VHS (or vice-versa) on Video 1 (L3 on DVD) while watching TV on Video 2. I can record TV to the E-30 through L1 (DVD) but only on the channel I'm watching.

I'm still looking for a way to watch one program on TV - say a ballgame - while recording another program from TV. This can be done with a conventional (non HT) setup and a VCR or DVD, but can I do it through the 1050?

Thanks...

Daryl
