As do I (well several actually) and recording from a DVD always tags the content with a flag on the TiVo (or sometimes it simply refuses to record).
On my Replay 5040 I can record a DVD without consequence.

'false positives'
False positive my arse. What are the odds a random signal error matches a digital signal perfectly. Probably non. Its a cover up, they might have even been testing their ability to delete shows.

Believe only Replay series beginning with 3000 series has Macrovision DRM. I have an upgraded 2000 series & I'm 100 percent certain there is no Macrovision encryption capability that can "manage" any content recorded on my drive . . . including PPV. It's one reason why I've stuck with the machine . . . & an example of why I went with Replay v. TiVo back in 2000 when I bought the 2000 series. I can skip over commercials; I don't pay a monthly fee (paid for lifetime service @ time of purchase); I have no one collecting data on my viewing habits; & I don't have involuntary software upgrades that increasingly impinge upon my domain over recorded content.

Will keep as backup once I move to an MPREG4 HD-DVR from DirecTV in 1Q2006. IMHO, TiVo has NEVER been about "TV the way u want it." It's been about survival of a questionable business model.

They're just not seeing the 'false positives' TiVo is... which is probably blind dumb luck since ReplayTV hasn't updated their software in going on two years...

Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember reading about it over at avforum.

They're just not seeing the 'false positives' TiVo is... which is probably blind dumb luck since ReplayTV hasn't updated their software in going on two years...
