Pretty much *every* video compression standard is lossy in some
way. I suspect that you probably mean something more specific than
simply "lossy" in your last sentence.
Also, you have an analogue recording, so the digitalness of the
original source means nothing, other than you'll have two separate
sets of transmission artefacts on the recording -- one set from the
original digital transmission, and one set from your recording to tape
(neither is likely to be intrusive, and the analogue recording will
probably have smoothed out some of the digital artefacts in the
process, but they'll still be there).
