</div>I Just got done with putting my STB (Samsung smt-3260) in the diagnostic<br>
mode. It allows you to check each channel.. My report is locals and a<br>
few shopping channels report as copy freely,the rest are reported as<br>
copy once,even the test bar channel is copy once..... I don't know if<br>
the HDPVR-P will handle copy once.. If I understand copy once<br>
correctly,you should be able to record to a PC and play your recording<br>
on that PC only...I could live with that...<br>
<br>
I am located in Northern NY, north of Albany using Time Warner...<br>
