Copyright protection on Box

[dcbag]

Thats not what I mean at all, I am talking about simply using the VCR as a pass through, but one of the devices(I don't know which one) has some sort of copyright protection that causes the image to fade out to the blue screen on the vcr making the sky angel box useless.

You can not do what you are asking with a VCR, the copy protection is in the white box, the reason is a VCR is used to copy content, not just for time shifting. You can use a TiVo series 2 DVR to record the white box by setting up manual recording times, the TiVo can not change channels on the white box, the remote code for the TransVideo white box is not in the TiVo settings. Having said all that you can transfer the content recorded on the TiVo from the white box to another device. It is possible to use the VCR as a pass through only if you use another device to remove the copy protection from the white box.

I should have said in my post upbove that you can pick programs from the TiVo guide to record, but you have to make sure the SA white box is on the correct channel since the remote code is not in the TiVo data base. Doing that mean you do not have to set up manual recordings in the TiVo.
