Bluray player steaming with hd fury 3 to sony rdr hx 900 recorder

HD Fury 3 & Sony RDR HX 900 Hd Dvd Recorder Questions

Before I begin i do have a fair av background but i am not an expert
in the av world so please be kind if my questions sound stupid .

Has anyone tried HD Fury 3 using a stand alone Dvd Recorder ?

I own a ( Sony HRD HX 9000 Stand Alone Dvd Recorder .
This is one of those Rare Stand Alone Hard Drive Dvd Recorders with
Component ( In Puts )

I used the following Set-Up With HDFury 3 )
( HDFury 3 With VGA To RCA Component breakout Adapter Cable )
LG BluRay Player HDMI output to HDFury 3 HDMI input

HDFury 3 RCA Component output to Stand Alone Dvd Recorder Component input

Dvd Recorder Component output to LCD Tv Set .

Outcome :

Blank gray screen on Sony RDR HX 900 Recorder.

I finally figured out that I am getting a blank gray screen on my Sony Recorder because my Bluray Player
does not have a 480i Over HDMI ability , so the hd fury 3 with component breakout cable is not coming in to
my Sony Recorder as SD 480i .Was HD Fury 3 made to only work with Tv Monitors and will not work with component input Stand Alone Dvd Recorders .

Or will a bluray player thats 480i over hdmi capable .work with my hd fury 3 to Sony RDR HX 900 Recorder.?
Or would i need a hdmi converter to change my hdmi bluray player signal to 480i over hmii ?

I do understand that I would only be getting SD 480i recording quality and thats ok ,

But will It Work ? Can Anyone Help...
