I have a 20-year old Mitsubishi tv. Yes, I know it is time to upgrade, but until I do, help me with this problem. I have digital cable, and a Motorola dual disk dvr box. I just discovered that when the cable guy installed the digital box, he disconnected the dvd player (which I ran through a regulator). Now, the dvr box is incompatible with the dvd player, and the tv has no inputs save for a single input for the cable. So how do I hook up the dvd player, short of buying a new tv? |

Yes, I meant modulator. Now what? |

You can buy modulators with multiple inputs. |

Thank you. Now, how does the cable wiring go? From the modulator to the dvr to the tv or from the dvr to the modulator to the tv? And will the dvr interfere with the ability of the dvd player to operate properly, or vice versa? |

You should be able to use the DVR and DVD with any modulator. Connect the DVR to the coax input and the DVD to the RCAs, then the output to the TV. |
