Noooo, digital box -> VCR via RF -> TV via RF. As it was an on-demand film I can see why it would be protected from recording using the Macrovision method. We weren't recording, it's just convenient to have your VCR connected to the digibox and TV so you can record and playback anytime. They probably should have given a warning message though because it freaked me out at the time lol

Btw I remember one morning in 2005/06 when BBC were doing a news report about HDTVs or their testing of HD broadcasts. Momentarily they said "this is what it would look like if we sent HD to your current equipment" and it was pretty much like that lol, but less "natural" looking. I think they also said if you have a computer, your monitor is likely to be HD which amazed me at the time lol, and is true in a sense. I also remember them introducing the famous 3D weather maps we've been staring at for 13 years.

Would it still happen with STB -> VCR over SCART/Component instead of RF?
