As far as i know there is no copy protection on it! If it has got macrovision you can by a boosting scart cable. Or failing that record to your pc and burn to disk.

Commando 4 or pacino 2.1
both of which have auto scanning also.

I use mine all the time and i haven't had any trouble with it yet. Don't think it has macrovision on it. What connection are you using at the back? The VCR scart or the TV scart?

I have my tv plugged into the tv and vcr plugged into the dvd recorder then dvd recorder into tv.

I can't remember the exact date but it was something like October of last year, PT-1 will know more accurately. The CVS had the macrovision taken out so any new image created after this date will be ok for recording.

If you're using an older image, it may be built into the image. That's why we suggest one of the newer images!

Paul, newer images don't have macrovision protection. The older ones do hence why you may have had a problem in the past. Boxcracker was good a year or so ago but if its not been updated then i would go with one of the newer images. The features we are getting from the image creators now are absolutely unreal and it would be a shame not to be able to use your dbox to its full potential because you are using an old image.

The Macrovision Bug was removed from the CVS around october or november 2005

Try to connect to your Dbox and then enter:

saa --ttx 0
or
saa --wss 8

It was the saa7126.c within U-Boot

Its over a year old now mate. Your missing out on a lot of new toys to be honest. I would suggest backing up the image you are using and try one of the newer ones. I highly recommend commando 4 but its up to yourself. If it all goes tits up just reflash your backup image ;)

Good luck
