  1. I have the pioneer 220 and when I try to record a program on "spike" tv I get a some color distortion or a picture that is different from when I dont use the recorder as a tv tuner. Does "spike tv" output a signal that my dvd recorder does not like? I have been trying to record the "ultimate fighter" program. Anybody know anything about this or if there is a way around it?
    thanks

    The dvr-220 will display a message stating that the material was copy-protected, and it could not record. So that should not be the problem.

    Are you using a cable box or splitters or anything that might degrade the signal quality?

  3. Yeah, I am using a splitter. It looks like I just have problems with that specific channel. I do not get any message saying that the material is copyrighted so it must be my bad cable reception then. Maybe it is time for satellite.

  4. I noticed on a Philips DVDR75 that it will try and punch up a weak signal, screws with recording old tapes, resolved that by putting a color burst amplifier inline and tweaking it up manually and the philips stopped doing that. Maybe same thing?

  5. Hello Colt,
    Put that recorded DVD-RW into a DVD Player. Select your quality of DVD and record your final movie if you have Macrovison hack. Hopes it work --- if not ---sorry --- don't kill the messenger.
