You were all on the right track, I was way off. It was indeed a connection issue. For starters there was a short in a RS audio cable from the VCR to the receiver. Why it only effects the cable and not VHS is way beyond me.

Next they had routed the cable box through the VCR to the receiver instead of running the audio from the Digital Cable Box to the Receiver. I was running the TV audio out to the receiver. This is why some channels had rear info. and the digital channels did not. Running the audio from the box to the receiver fixes everything.

I maybe haven't got it spelled out exactly right here, my head is still swimming, but it's close. At any rate, I'm very happy now. I was too trusting in assuming the contractor actually knew how to hook up the equipment properly.

I thank all of you who took the time and effort to respond, you were right.
