Just wanted to know if anyone else with TWC in the Dallas-Fort Worth area noticed this inconsitancy as well.
"True Blood"on HBO-HD (815 in my area) Premeired last week on Sunday night.
I have an S3, & a TiVo HD unit.
Last week, My S3 recorded 8 showings of "True Blood"at various different times & days of the week.
In fear of the CCI copy protection flag that seems to be used on HBO-HD in Dallas I also set "True Blood" to be recorded on my BEDROOM TiVO HD in case I or my wife wanted to watch it there as well. The Bedroom TiVo unit also recorded 8 showings of "True Blood"
Of the total 8 showing that EACH unit recorded. Both units recorded 4 of the 8 shows at the exact same time as each other.
Thus out of 16 recordings of "True Blood"there were 12 distinct different recordings made at 12 different times.
Of the 8 recordings on my Livingroom S3 TiVo.... Only 5 are Copy protected which prevents me from MRV'ing. 3 are NOT marked.
Of the 8 recordings on my Bedroom TiVo HD unit. 4 are copy protected which prevents me from MRV'ing. 4 are NOT marked.
Here is what is interesting. 2 of the recordings on each unit that were NOT marked with the copy protection were made at the same exact time. Leaving The other 3 recordings that were NOT marked were each recorded at a different time. The shows that were marked with a copy protection flag, some were at the same time, some were not.
Now.... knowing all that... and normally EVERYTHING is marked with copy protection flag from HBO-HD I am wondering about TWC, HBO & even TiVo.
Why do I say TiVO? because both TiVo's recorded the same showing of "True Blood" yet one unit marked that showing with a copy protection flag while the other unit did not, & even vice versa! In other words. One time both units marked the show with the flag, another time neither unit put the flag on, and another time the S3 did while the HD unit didn't, & last but not least, one other time the HD unit did while the S3 unit did not.
Weird don't you think? Any speculation? Educated gueses?
Did anyone else record "True Blood" and NOT get the copy protection flag?
