you guys ever run into copy protection when taping/DVR's something?

Lauren watches The Wendy Williams show ... and there is copy protection on it, so you can't record it (whether through the cable box or not - I tried both ways). The commercials before the show starts work fine, but then the show is garbled, blocky, and unwatchable. I called Cablevision about it, and they said the copy protection comes from the network, not them (I think this is a lie. I also think it's unfair that I shouldn't be able to tape something I'm not home to watch, yet I pay for.)

As a possible work around, I set the sleep timer on the TV before I left for work, so "the network" will think someone's watching TV, and let me record it. Maybe that will help.
