My twenty year old TV will show all channels up to 99 when directly connected, but it is "cable ready"." My bedroom set is doing something very similar, I just checked the manufacturer's date on the back and it is July 1991. My set stopped showing anything after channel 61 a few months ago. I never bothered to hook up a VCR to it (don't even have one anymore). However I am quite confident it should solve the problem.

My bedroom set is doing something very similar, I just checked the manufacturer's date on the back and it is July 1991. My set stopped showing anything after channel 61 a few months ago. Channel 61 is right below 450Mhz. Channel 99 is in the FM band between 88 and 108 Mhz, putting it between channels 6 and 7. 450 Mhz is a common limit for older TV tuners, as was 550 Mhz (channel 78). "Cable Ready" really just meant they could tune into the channel frequency assignments CATV used when it varied from OTA channel frequency assignments, it didn't really give a minimum frequency tuner limit. Although, most cable systems were limited to the 450-550 Mhz for quite a few years around the time TV's first started being marketed as "cable ready".
