Tech question...[views:6690][posts:5]______________________________ [Dec 29,2006 8:43am - nate ""] Ok so i got a DVR for Xmas and want to back up some of my old movies, some are one's that I have recorded (home movies, etc). When I try this though my DVR tells me the info is copywritten and it won't copy it. Is there some sort of adapter/filter I can use that will allow me to record them? |

| _______________________________ [Dec 29,2006 10:52am - nate ""] not sure what the brand name is... I'm at work so I can't check either. |

You'll probably have better luck using an old VCR that doesnt have copy protection. Ok, the VCR/DVD Combo does have the copyright protection in the machine itself. Does anyone know how to block it or take it out? |
