General Electric VG4268 VCR
can't record cable channels &gt; 99
Bought the VCR because it was the lowest-priced one I could find that also had 4 heads, stereo, and commercial skip. Found it easy to set up and program (although it didn't auto-clock set the 1st time I tried.) However,  much to my surprise, I found it impossible to record channels over 99, even  though the manual shows an example with channnel 104, and the VCR is  supposed to be 181-channel compatible. There's no contact # for Thonson, so  I called Amazon.com,(who I bought it from--highly recommended), and they  reached Thomson, who told them that the VCR couldn't record 3-digit  channels. I'm debating whether or not to keep it because of that--I'm  impressed with it otherwise, particularly for the price (good recording  quality, playback, and stereo, easy to use, and there IS a tape  counter--hit the &quot;INFO&quot; button to display it on the screen.) The  main problem is the 3-digit channel bug--my current cable system doesn't go  over channel 99, but some do, and it would be a BIG disadvantage.
