I am experiencing problems with recording movies from my satellite. It doesn't happen often, but sure is annoying when it occurs. I set up a timer to record a movie and the timer aborts because of "protected input source". This may occur 1/3, 1/2, 3/4 of the way through the movie or it may even happen 5 minutes before the end (I would expect this within the first 0 to 5 minutes of the start of the movie, but not as far into the movie as it is doing).

Also, I really cannot believe that there would be any MV signal present in such broadcasts. Not only should I be able to record ALL movies broadcast, but the ones it is screwing up on are so old that I don't think they even thought of copywrite protection! (1930's).

Does anyone have any advice on this? Is it simply random or bizarre noise that is triggerring a false copywrite protection signal? Is this an inherent problem for LiteOn DVD/HDDs? I have the latest LiteOn firmware installed for the LVW-5045 and have tried older versions, no help with this problem doing that.

Thanks,

Catfishnut

Yep, there is copy protection on preminum channels know as (CGMS)
which is used by the DVD movie companies to stop piracy. '
Take a look at this site:

However, there is a fix to this problem and it's time to use: Sima GoDVD CT2
it's available on ebay or do a google search for it.

After heading this post I checked my system; I selected HBO on demand recorded the movie on my LVW5005 hacked with no problems.

I had the same issue with my Liteon LVW-5045. This is due to some cable companies and sat feeds may set the CGMS flag/bit for certain programs or channels as Macrovision3500 eluded to. The problem is with firmware (203) and beyond. I UPGRADED (sarcasm) to 203 before this problem started. It didn't show up right away. 203 is coded to honor the CGMS flag. I solved my problem by returning to an older version of firmware (201) available for my model. Never had a problem since.

I see you tried reverting to the older firmware, but had no luck. Perhaps you can find some useful information at this site:
