I'd help if I could, but to me this sounds like the video connections
aren't quite right or the tuner(s) isn't/aren't yet fully supported.

You may have done this already, but in case not:

      - Verify that tuner is selected in the Input menu
      - Turn AFC on in the Options menu
      - Put your cursor over the video window
      - Key in frequencies using "f<frequency>" (e.g. "f500.0")

Sounds like you have your VCR's tuner output plugged into the WinTV's
tuner?  If so, plug it into a TV instead and verify you can get all the
channels?  Could it be you don't have your VCR on tuner-pass though?

This probably isn't it, but it came to mind.

As a temporary fix, use your VCR's tuner and plug its video/audio out into
the video/audio in jacks of the WinTV.
