Can one use a VCR to record a scrambled signal, then play it back later
through the cable company's converter?  Or does the recording process depend
on accurate recognition of sync signals, etc.?

	cable ---> VCR ---> converter/unscrambler ---> TV

I'm aware of other solutions, such as using a block converter between the
cable jack and the VCR; my interest is primarily academic.
