I have found that this is not a very reliable circuit, plus the customer can't set the clock on their vcr and they sure can't set-up the Gemstar,TV guide plus. The mfg thinks that they are doing a favor for the customer, but they are not. It's just like the PIP, the customer uses it for a week, then forgets that it's even there, until the PIP causes the set to fail. This is another circuit that will also cause a complete failure of the TV. This is just my opinion, but the mfg should just make a good set that will furnish a good picture/sound and leave all that other crap off.
