Mine probably functioned the same way - I'm just saying that some shows wouldn't record onto DVD because the machine detected copy protection, and even when it did record, the quality was poor. So for me, it wasn't worth it - I ended up only using the DVD part for playback, and if that's what you're doing to do, it's probably easier and cheaper to get a regular DVR (possibly through the cable company) and a cheap DVD player.
Let me clarify: Some shows are broadcast with a signal that some TVs and DVRs can detect that prevents recording onto a DVD. Like, Doctor Who on BBCA - I couldn't record it onto a DVD.
