    I'm new to this board. I have a sony DVD/VCR that I just bought from best buy. apparently, you cannot record movies from hbo, starz, etc. it works with the showtime channels, though. what's the deal? is there anyway to get around this? This totally sucks. Please advise.

    Thanks, kk

    It is probably CPRM copy protection preventing you from recording

    Devices like the Sima "GoDVD" and other video "clarifiers" might defeat it
