Solution A A americanaudiophile Sep 13, 2016 You would have to use an 1 x 2 HDMI distribution amp. https/www.amazon.com/Sewell-Direct-HDMI-Splitter-support/dp/B007WR0CHU The genie HDMI out to its input. One output to the TV. The other to an HDMI to composite video audio converter. https/www.amazon.com/Tendak-Composite-Converter-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00KBQZC4M You can program the VCR start and stop time but not change the channel of the box. Since the VCR will not record in HD you won't be pleased with the quality.
