Something's changed in the last week or so with Anytime. A week or so ago I 'recorded' The Fog to my planner and then watched the film whilst recording to my Sony DVD Recorder - everything worked fine; the DVD copy (for my own use) is perfect.
The last two days I've tried to record jarhead by following the same process. Press R to get it into the planner; then watch the film whilst setting Record on the DVD recorder then leaving it to run overnight (with the autostandby turned off) whilst I go to bed.
In the morning the recorded DVD just had a full grey screen recorded for two hours. At first I thought I'd done something wrong. After looking I noticed that in the planner when I have Jarhead selected the red copy option disappears. I tried again with the Columbia Seconds From Disaster again it has no red copy option and cannot be recorded.
All 'normal' things in the planner (including films from various Sky Movies) have the copy option and can be recorded successfully. Is this a change of heart by Sky or had they just 'forgotten' to turn protection on ? As I said, just a couple of weeks ago I did exactly the same with 'The Fog' from Anytime and that worked a treat.
