But our TV processing platform, e.g. PNX8550, will down-convert 480p 
or 720p or 1080i to 480i for you. Why pay for the same hardware twice ? 
After protecting the 480i with Macrovision we will let you record that. 

Or we won't ? 

I have just bought a DVDR3300H hard-disk & DVD recorder for my parents, 
and discovered that it would not copy an original Disney VHS that I own. 
And this was after connecting it through a Macrovision decoder... 
Apparently this does not remove the "broadcast flag", which is known 
here as CGMS-A (CGMS/A) - "Copy Generation Management System for Analog 
Video". So even if the signal is perfectly usable for a VHS recorder, 
they still won't let you record it. Bummer.
