I think if you use digital signal feeds to your TV and go analog audio and lower video feeds you can get around copy protection, just a trial and error thing.
recording shows from cable TV?
whats the best way to record a show - for example - a tennis match from Tennis Channel into some format that I will be able to keep forever. I have the regular DVR box that allows me to record from Time Warner, but I have to get a new box at least once per year since the box craps out. Maybe onto some permanent storage system that I can keep forever? Maybe something better exists nowadays? suggestions
