I made maybe 10 coasters out of my first 40 burns, which was pretty
horrible, but they were all from the same cause; the protected channels.

BTW, it turns out I don't need to actually try to RECORD a protected
channel. If the TV gets flipped to one while it's passing through the
signal, and definitely if a recording gets played from the DVR while
it's watching, it'll go fubar. Gotta unplug/replug any time it even
SEES a channel in those tiers. I'm going to write that down under the
'overly sensitive' column.
