I have a regular dvd recorder (samsung) but am having issues?

Question

When I record a television show and then view it, the picture comes really badly, the image is distorted, like aseries of boxes appear, like I have a weak signal, I spoke to an antenna guy and he said that it was't the antenna but the equippment, I also tried using a different brand of dvds but the problem still occurs, i also tried recording in SP, and LP and it still occurs. is there any way that I can fix it?

Answer 1

When you get the "box" break-up on HD it means you are having a signal problem.

It could be cheap/bad cables to the DVD-R from your cable box.  I'd look into getting better ones.  Maybe what you have isn't plugged in all the way?  

a few things to check anyway.  good luck.
