(You will only be able to record from only channel, you will have to reset the channel next time you will want to record another show from another channel. Set the time your want the recording to start on the VCR. Set your channel on the tuner going to the VCR. All the recordings are encrypted with a key unique to each box, so the new box will just see garbage. The only way to record a show with the timer. Heck, if the box fails, you can't even transfer the HDD to the new box. Yes you can still use a DVR, but those prevent you from making copies of the shows you've recorded. And with the transition to digital TV and HDCP, they succeeded. For decades Hollywood has been trying to kill the VCR. The library and the Digital Media Center have equipment that can do this. This is one of the real shames of the conversion to digital TV. If it is not available on DVD, you have the right to make a DVD copy of it. Maybe if you connected the coax out to a splitter, stuck one coax in into your DVD/VCR (since you know it supports HDCP), and the other coax in into an old VCR, you might be able to record on the old VCR. I suspect even an old analog VCR wouldn't help, since it's the lack of HDCP which is causing the failure. I wasn't aware HDCP signals could be sent over coax, but based on your description that's the only explanation that makes sense (you being able to view cable box -> DVD/VCR -> HDMI -> TV). The cable box checks to see if you're allowed to record that show, determines you can't, and cuts out the picture. Https /Basically, the DVD/VCR is somehow telling the cable box that you're trying to record. That's what your RDK-03060 message is saying. You can also use the DVDR600VR like a VCR, burning televised programs directly to disc using. The DVDR600VR also features a disc manager that allows instant viewing of all recorded discs, storing contents details for up to 9,000 titles across up to 999 discs. If something doesn't, then HDCP fails, and the video source will cut the picture. The unit records up to 8 hours per disc side using either DVD+R or rewritable DVD+RW. For HDMI to work, the video source and display device and everything in between must have HDCP. It's basically Hollywood's method of making sure you aren't recording the digital TV signal. It also has something called HDCP - high-bandwidth digital content protection. An HDMI signal isn't just a straight video signal. When you see the movie playing, press stop (do not power off the VCR) and proceed to the next step. However, since your playback device is a digital TV (connected via HDMI), I doubt recording will work. It's possible your cable box or DVD/VCR has one built in. Plug your device into your TV, insert your tape and blank DVD, and press recordmaking sure that your player is set to record from VHS to DVD (and not the other. To get digital broadcasts to display on an analog NTSC device like a VHS VCR, you need one of those converter boxes that were initially sold when we switched TV broadcasts to digital. Nearly all content today is broadcast in digital. VHS uses the old analog NTSC broadcast standard. I'm surprised you even got this to work to the extent you did.
