Suddenly unable to record on cable stream

[xtopherp67]

Upfront apology for not being a techie at all. What I am is a guy who found a great tool for exactly what I was trying to accomplish, which suddenly quit working. Details on how I use OBS and what changed:
1. Spouse is in sales for local TV network affiliate. I would scope the other affiliates in town looking for sales leads.
2. I would do this by recording the other programs on my DVR via my cable service
3. I run dual monitors. I would run OBS on monitor one using the source "Display Capture" on monitor two while I streamed the recording
4. When a clip would come on I wanted to record and save as a file, I would simply hit "start recording" and stop for convenient 30 clips
5. Been doing this for about 6 months and has worked beautifully
6. Today, all of a sudden, the OBS screen shows black when I do this (but I can see the desktop audio meter moving)

I suspect this was an anti-recording measure input by the streaming cable company, and I'm out of luck. A similar thing happened months ago on my iPad where you could not longer take anything but a black picture of this same service when you tried to do a screen shot
But I did want to inquire for verification and a possible work around.
Many thanks for any insight.

We do not assist with work arounds for anti-recording measures. If nothing has changed on your end, contact your cable company and ask if anything has changed on their end.

Thanks and understood. I was mostly trying to verify that this is what it was, and not any sort of setting issue on my end.
Thanks again.
