Question. Is the Macrovision protection set up in VCRs or in the actual DVD player? People talk about chipping-- mod chipping... this chip is for the VCR? or DVD? I am guessing if it is for the DVD it would remove macrovision from being transmitted to the VCR which looks for macrovision protection? Or if it is the VCR that is chipped-- it would just ignore the macrovision it receives from the DVD signal??

Which piece of hardware is normally chipped?

Also, I heard that at radio shack you can buy a wireless transmitter to send the video signal to the vcr-- and this will somehow bypass the macromedia signal.. any truth here?

Thanks for all the info!
