Page 1 of LG 3350 with no Macrovision and maybe others?

I don`t know whether I was missing something but basically the sole reason for wanting to disable macrovision is to record to video, yeh? Well if your recording to video then you don`t need to be fussed about amazing quality as it will still be VHS in the end anyway, so why not use an RF Modulator.

I picked one up the other day albeit a slightly expensive one from Maplins, (Keene Electronics RF Modulator - £34.99), and it works fine with the LG and probably would others. The picture is actually impressively crisp, although you expect that from such an awesome player. It also worked well on my older TV that has nothing but Coaxial Aerial input, and hand tuning!

Maplins offer another one at £13 I think although it is a premade unbadged sort of thing so their is no guarantee, but it could be a cheap alternative.

Anyway I`m sure some of you clever lot could make your own!

Comments?

Through the VCRs aerial input?

Can you adjust the modulator`s frequency??

And what results do you get with NTSC discs???

Apologies for what I said. It appears not too have worked. I have one of those little TV/Vid combis and previously I couldn`t even use the DVD because of the macrovision. The RF Modulator works fine for playback but unfortunately as I have just found out it doesn`t work during the recording. I will try with a VCR this weekednd sometime and post the result.

PS. You can change the freqs. the modulator outputs. It is still quite a useful tool though!

Sorry.

Checked with a VCR and that didn`t work either.
