Hello; Ah, you touched on the catch. Recording to VHS nearly most of the time was analogue. Duplicating a tape was subject to duplication failures. Unless you have a TV with hacked HDMI ports you cannot record off of HDMI. You are limited to using device such as EyeTV to capture the programme. If you are watching on the Web you have to screen scrape with somethiing like iShowU HD. Screen scraping is subject to video-audio getting out of sync. Screen Scraping a smaller area of the screen results in improved results but pixelation occurs when viewed at higher resolutions.
get_iplayer, bypasses all of that and is grabbing a digital copy of the BBC content. there is a fundamental difference. You may thank Intel for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
