The response given by the recorder says it all. The content is encoded to prevent copies being made. The copy protection facility is used on the majority of broadcast output today. The use of HDMI connectors on new equipment, especially HD equipment is a deliberate move to prevent content being copied. Some cable receivers and other HD sources will also have a standard definition output using composite or S-video connectors. These are not copy protected and it is possible to take an analog copy from one of these connectors. Of course, if the content is HD, your copy will still only be SD. Copy protection is used to prevent small numbers of people copying and re-selling material, a problem that the broadcast and television industry has had for many years. Sadly, the protection works against those viewers who want to use recording devices to simply store a program and watch it at a later date. If the program is a PPV, it is likely to be delivered via cable or satellite. In most cases, it is possible to obtain cable or satellite receivers with built in recorders. Most of these will allow the recording of copy protected material but the playback is restricted to the same receiver. If the intention is to save a program and watch it at a later date, this may be the best option to choose.
