The problem may be with your set top box, not with your DVD writer.
Many AV equipment DVD players, especially older ones, do not play
recordable DVD's very well.   I think the media is less reflective or
some such and they have trouble picking up the signal.

My older Toshiba DVD player will play recordable media until the
player gets hot.  After about four hours powered on, it starts having
errors and video artifacts, with recordable media.   My somewhat newer
CyberHome player plays just about anything.   The still newer Toshiba
in the living room doesn't have any problems with recordable media
either.  But that first oldest player is right on the edge of being
able to play recordable disks.
