record from thomson 160gb freeview to sony rdr-gx3 dvd recorder?

i've saved a catherine tate show which my freeview box downloaded as part of my monthly subsciption i want to record it to my sony dvd recorder but when i try the sony says it cannot record this kind of signal, i can record other programms that i have recorded manually from the freeview so i assume that because it was downloaded & i didn't record it manually that the output signal is scrambled they are connected via scart leads so can i disconnect any of the pins to allow me to transfer the prog many thanx for any help
