I didn't even know this was possible for broadcast content. Is this my ancient dvr acting up, or are networks starting to protect their broadcast from recording?

Networks can flip a content 'flag' that can disallow a program to be recorded on "store bought" dvr's. It may affect pausing as well. As far as I knew, though, not many stations other than some cable and premium cable really used it much at all.
The threat of this is one reason I built my own pc dvr which uses GBPVR. It just ignores the flag.
