Macrovision protection is now disabled until you stop or rewind the movie :-)
But, I have found a SVHS "cideo clarifier" for $119 shipped. Sounds pricey at first, but, it also has individual adjustments for R,G, and B. As well as sharpness, tint, color, contrast.
So, at one hand, I have to pay an extra $119 for movies that I already friggin *OWN* becuase of macrovision. But, I cant do much about that. On the other hand, I do get controls over many aspects of the video signal that I do not already have and I can make the picture on my screen even better.
I would be willing to pay an extra $5 to the studios on my movie titles to not have macrovision.
