Tonight I was messing about trying to capture various stuff off Sky digital since it's pretty good quality (picture-wise, not programme-wise ;)) and I noticed that despite being able to watch the 'box office' (rent-a-film for the day feature), I can't capture from it. I understand the reasoning behind this, and can't say I'm surprised, however it reminded me of a quaestion I've been turning over in my mind for a while;
How is it that Box Office can be viewed perfectly well but not recorded onto VHS (or captured)? It seems to me that the capturing/recording end would have to be screwing the copy up voluntarily by order of the signal in question. How does it work?
