Macrovison Remover

My TV does not have a scart connction so i need to route my DVD player through my VCR. I found this http://www.lektropacks.co.uk/acatalog/stab-1.htm
and was wondering if this will filter the macrovision?

Well, since it's got a legal warning on the page, I would guess it does have a MacroVision remover. But to be on the safe side, why don't you e-mail them? I've found them to be very helpful in the past.

Cheers,
Mark

Leaving aside the Macrovision question, why not use a RF through modulator between your VCR and TV instead? I use one from Keene Electronics (£44.99 including PSU) to pipe DVD through to the kitchen TV. You'll need a line-out 3-phono cable from the back of your DVD player to a 2:1 audio phono y-adaptor, plug the video into one socket on the RF modulator and the mono audio (sorry, you can't have everything at this price) into the other. Then connect suitable RF leads between the RF modulator, VCR and TV and off you go! The normal version of the RF modulator can be tuned over a small UHF range, but there's also a 'wideband' model. Pictures and sound are excellent!

But you won't be able to watch region 1 NTSC DVDs this way unless your TV is NTSC compatible - oh, and no it doesn't eliminate Macrovision!
