VHS to dvd
 

Is anyone aware of a combo unit that will copy VHS protected tapes to DVD and DVR (cable box) to DVD ? I OWN many old tapes that I want to preserve onto DVD - and most combo recorders can't get past the VHS tape (Macrovision?) copy protection. I'm not doing anything illegal - I purchased ALL of these VHS tapes want to make a copy for myself.

You can see the idea of how to use Grex with DVD/VCR combos here:

I'm doing it with my Sony RDR VX520.
Definitely the next round of such products would be HD protection remover.
Are there any news about such device?
