Sure it can. You'd use the composite video and L R audio outputs from the satellite receiver and run those to the corresponding inputs on the VCR. Some VCRs can control a satellite box though use of an infrared "mouse," but for most, setting the VCR is a two-step process. You set the VCR to record from its line inputs for the time the program runs, then set the satellite receiver to switch to the appropriate channels at the appropriate time.
Or just buy a DVR unit for your respective satellite service and be done with it .
