I believe they are connected correctly and I have tried everything and no matter what I do I cannot get the picture from the converter box to leave the screen. I had a vcr/dvd player connected at one time with no problem cause it had the antenna in/out connections as well as audio/video connections but the dvd player and dvd recorder I'm asking about only have the audio/video connections. The others I made a copy from tape to disc or disc to disc using each one but can't with the dvd playerI and dvd recorder I''m asking about cause can't get the converter box picture to go off the screen. I have tried the input button on the tv and the source is set right on the player, recorder but the picture won't go off the screen so I can see the dvd that's playing and I can usually figure things out but I'm stumped so any help would be appreciated.
