Before digital television, passthrough originally existed in VCRs (and later PVRs and DVDRs) that connected to a TV set using RF connector, allowing the TV antenna or cable TV signal to be switched to pass through the VCR, or have VCR output added as an extra channel.
The analog VCR or DVR may record at preset times, but will continue recording the L-1 line input, which would be the same channel unless the channel is manually changed. [citation needed] Alternatively, the user may purchase a new TV, DVR, or DVD recorder with a built-in digital tuner.

A videocassette recorder (VCR) or video recorder is an electromechanical device that records analog audio and analog video from broadcast television or other AV sources and can play back the recording after rewinding.

The central concept of the system is a unique number, a PlusCode, assigned to each program, and published in television listings in newspapers and magazines (such as TV Guide). To record a program, the code number is taken from the newspaper and input into the video recorder, which would then record on the correct channel at the correct time.
Full digital broadcast was expected in 2021 and all of the analog TV services were to be shut down by the end of 2023.
