For curiosity's sake, I just attempted to capture a short section of a live HBO television-stream from the RCA/composite-out on my Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD DVR to my USB video capture device.

The resulting AVI file is distorted with regards to color:

I'm curious as to what sort of copy-protection this is, and if there is a way to circumvent it (purely for personal use, of course!).

Any thoughts?
