CAn you tape digital TV?

Started by Citizen Erased (confused again)

Despite having an HDTV for a while, we’ve only just got a digital signal - does anyone know if there’s some way I can get my old VHS video recorder to pick up the digital signal from the TV and record stuff?

Got an analogue out on the TV? (scart would do it). There are issues with HDCP (high def copyright protocol) but that SHOULD only affect attempting to record as HD, which you won’t be. Google it?

Seems the general consensus is you need an HD converter box http://www.brighthub.com/electronics/home-theater/articles/48499.aspx
However if your HDTV has an S-video OUT then people thin you can go from that to VCR, some of the replies on the link below talk about this.
