What you are experiencing is a copy protection called Macrovesion it was on a lot of commercial VHS tapes
I doubt that the GoVideo unit is defective.
The Cyberhome can not be hacked and does not copy a VHS or DVD if protected..
A Pay For View, movie is often flagged so it will not copy to a DVD, many programs are also so flagged
Most and I believe all DVR etc, will not allow a copy to a DVD
BUMMER
As I understand it a person that owns A VHS tape or DVD disk can make a [Fair Use Copy] But you can?t because of copy protection

LiteOn is a very good machine. The ilo 04 by WalMart was made by LiteOn not the 05 which is Cyberhome.
In todays market and pricing I would get the LiteOn, I prefer a Hard Drive. The HDD makes things easier for my use and I got rid of a DVR.
I cant tell you what to do but this is what I use In dubbing or copy any thing;
GoVideo Combo unit VHS/DVD used as player only. A VHS and a DVD player are necessary because no DVD will allow a transfer from HDD to DVD
Ilo DVDRHD04 [LiteOn] as a HDD/DVD recorder. This unit is hacked and the hack is avail at the last site I gave you. Non HDD units are avail and work fine. Remember tha ilo 04 is a liteOn
This assumes a proper signal source to a VHS and DVD player also from the DVD recorder to a TV.
Copy's are in Real Time a 2hr VHS or DVD takes 2hr to copy
What you want to do [Is Possible] But do some research first, The second site I gave is very good, You should check the posts By Guitarman and Harpmaker
I might not be able to post for a few days
There are a lot of good people on these forms and a lot of ifo given Good luck and let me know how you made out
