<p>A video recorder (12), adapted to receive descrambled signals from a remotely controllable tuner/descrambler (18) for multi-channel cable or satellite signals for recording or provision to a television receiver (14), includes a future program memory (32) which may be programmed by an operator to cause the system to record a predetermined channel at a predetermined future time. To ensure that the descrambler (18) is tuned to the proper channel when a signal requiring descrambling is to be recorded, the video recorder (12) is connected to a remote control transmitter (34) which is energized at the time occurrence of a program to be recorded to send a signal to the remote control receiver of the tuner/descrambler (22) causing it to select the appropriate channel for descrambling.</p> |
