are there any vhs dvd combos that allow recording to vhs(not the dvd)

Pretty much all of them allow recording to the VHS side I thought. I know that my JVC unit will record to VHS and allows outputting of both VHS and DVD using RF Coaxial cable on either channel 3 or 4.

Some of them no longer have tuners in them or can't output over regular cable instead of RCA or similar.

This cheap philips one will do what you need, according to the manual.

It means they don't have it any more. You are probably better off buying a new tv.

only reason you have to modulate to an rf channel is because the TV doesn't have a proper video input.

That makes the tv at least 15 year old. Buying a tv maybe cheaper.

getting a new tv is not an option

The problem is that any VCR with a regular TV tuner has to have a digital tuner by law now. The only way you're going to find a cheap dvd/vcr combo with recording capabilities is to scrounge for refurbs or clearance items such as the one I posted.

Most manufacturers have chosen to simply remove the tuner so they don't have to charge a lot for a dvd/vcr.
