Page 1 of Remove macrovision from both sky and dvd with one cable?

Currently have:

Dvd player (tosh210e) connected to tv via component
Sky connected to tv via rgb scart

I am about to buy a vcr (tosh v851 - 3 scarts) and am also going to buy a macrovision remover scart cable:: (http://www.sonel.com/mac2.htm)

I want to use this sonel scart macro remover cable to record to my vcr from BOTH my sky box and dvd player.

Questions:

1) Is the only way to do this is have some sort of converter box with 2 scart sockets coming into it ( for sky+dvd player) and 1 socket out (to plugin my macrovision cable in?.


2) Am i likely to have a problem with quality using this method. I am first going through a scart splitter then into a scart cable which i suspect is more designed to remove macrovision than it is on quality.

3) Is there another way of doing this that i have missed?.


TIA

Im new to macrovision ive just visited that website (sonel.com) would i also need to buy the;
1)12 VOLT POWER SUPPLY
2)PHONO / SCART ADAPTOR

That they sell or is it simply the case where i can fix up the scart cable and that does away with the macrovision?

cheers............

Not sure i think it is just a case where you can fix up your scart cable.

The issue i hav, is i want to be able to record from both sky (boxoffice) and from dvd with macrovision removed, what about you?, you just want it for dvd?.

I wonder how many people have one of these cables and if they also have it set up so they can record form both sky and dvd using this macrovision cable?, I guess my other alternative is to buy 2 of those cables, and put them directly: one from sky to vcr and the other dvd to vcr, but id rather just get the one.

advice anyone?

Something I found useful was typing "macrovision removal" in the search box it brought up loads of threads on scart cables and scart splitters and i do believe sombody mentioned a tri-scaat convertor which i believe you can have 3 scart pulgs in at one time which may help with your problem!!

Did you buy the phono cable that sonel are selling? i have no idea if i would need one!!!
