I've always assumed vcr's were /smart/ enough to know to remove
Macrovision from what is being sent to the tv but not if it's being sent
to the tape. Macrovision is fairly easy to remove but it is frowned upon
in the same was DeCSS is frowned upon, It does distort your picture/sound
clarity in some cases though so it is legal to remove it from media you
own for your own viewing.
I'm not familiar with all the details but remember tidbits caught ehre and
there and remember a schematic for a Macrovision filter I saw in a howto
magazine that was simple enough that even someone new to electrnoics
should be able to build it.
