Recording Boxing via DVD recorder.

Actually, all DVD recorders manufactured for sale in the US in the past few years have copyright protection built into them. You cannot use them to reord any copyrighted DVDs or programs from digital cable that have blocks put on them. I'm not sure if you can get by this on non-digital cable or not. Also, HBO is starting to use this type of protection on all their shows, like The Sopranos. How about VHS, will it record? I recorded Pacquiao vs Morales 2 on DVD/VHS recorder and it worked.

Oh really, well u must have a cheap dvd/vhs recorder :) Actually, all DVD recorders manufactured for sale in the US in the past few years have copyright protection built into them.

Also you can't record HBO PPV events with it......they have a block. Oh really, well u must have a cheap dvd/vhs recorder :)

I just bought a DVD recorder DVR 1600 at kmart. Evertime I try to record something it says, insert recordable dvd disc, yet I am using a DVD plus R and it should work........anyone know why it won't work, please post, I am missing fights to record through such .......thanks.......... If your DVD/R is +/- R compatible, you may need to format the disk prior to recording. Most disks come pre-formatted, but cheapies are sometimes problematic like that.

Try a -R DVD.Some platyers do not work with +R.I have a Sony DVD recorder and it works with both but I use a -R so the copies will play on most DVD players rather than just +R compatible ones. if it's compatible with both, it doesn't matter if you you use + or -. Just finalize the DVD when you're through recording and it will play on any DVD player.
