Are there VCRs out there that can automattically turn on TV and VCR to record something? - vcrs

Now I want to capture at sporting events, but if it is on, as IM at work. Id want to save all the way, but DVRs and TiVo to require a monthly fee. Kinda sucks, so wondered if theres still not present in the VCR, automatically on the TV and VCR turn to pick up something? Thank you!
