HBO copy protects it shows.

I tried to copy HBO Boxing to DVD and got a note saying the broadcast was copy protected. Anyway to get around this?

I study this from time to time, and always get confused.

If you use MS Media Center then it puts Copy protection on shows that request it. You can convert those shows to mpeg though. There are some new pc's coming out with Vista Ultimate and cable card slots so you can record HD onto those, but who know what you will be able to do with the content. They are not going to sell the cable card readers seperately but only with an authorized pc. There are some ways to hack TIVO's to get your shows off.... google for that info... I'm just sitting back and hating my MS Media Center PC recording problems..
