I received an Alba DVD Recorder from someone on my local Freecycle
Group and which I use for recording from the Tv on.

I also have a Panasonic DVD Recorder.

What I try to do is keep my favourite programs on one DVD so that it
is much easier to view later.

The trouble is that when I try to record on the Panasonic from the
Alba a message keeps popping up on screen saying NoREC and that I am
trying copy copyrighted material and will therefore not record.

Hence the reason for the CopyGaurd remover


Then this might not be macrovision but some other way of detection a
direct copy, in turn this might not be solved by a TBC or other
'macrovision removing' device.

By the way, TV programmes are still covered by the copyright laws, the
only relaxation is to allow time-shifting, this does not permit
archiving - which is what you are wanting to do.
