Without details on the connections you have on all the equipment the simplest option is to connect the cable box to the TV with the RF or antenna out to the TV antenna input. Select either channel 3 or 4 to get the picture and sound. To record connect the audio video outs of the box to the VCR DVD recorder and connect that to the TV with audio-video connection. You will not be able to record and watch different programs since the digital cable tuner is in the box and the cable ready tuner in the TV is analog.
