Connecting a VCR to record cable television requires a cable box and some connector cables. Connect the cables so the feed from the cable box, which is the piece of equipment which allows you to watch cable television, runs into both the VCR and television. This allows you watch cable television on your TV and record your favorite programs with the VCR. Depending on the make and model of VCR, television and cable box you use, the type of connector cables you need may vary.
