What is it that you are trying to record? Not sure here but I kinda suspect a copy-protection (CP) issue. You will find CP issues when trying to record a commercial DVD or VHS, some old home VHS may be used to the point that the signal will be mistaken for CP. Also dependant on your tv signal provider, some broadcasts are also encrypted.
