Well whatever the CC has said is complete bullshit.Only the wire coming directly from the satellite needs to be processed which is what your STB does. Once you take the video out from the STB, what you get is your pure analog video. It does not need to be decrypted or anything. So whatever problem you are facing is probably because of your DVD Recorder. Refer to the manual, or contact THEIR manufacturers, or post in forums related to that product.
