DVD player to VCR to TV

[Rod Speed]

Some completely unemployable fuckwit claiming to be
Phil Allison <philallison@optusnet.com.au> desperately
attempted to bullshit its way out of its predicament in message
news:408898aa$0$4544$afc38c87@news.optusnet.com.au...
and fooled absolutely no one at all. As always.

No wonder its completely unemployable.

You need an RF Modulator.

Below is a link that carries them. This works great I use one myself.

Not expensive. Easy Fix.

Hello fellow electronic enthusiasts,
my son brought home a DVD player a couple of days
ago and some DVD movies to watch. We connected
the unit up with the RCA connectors provided, to the
VCR as it had RCA connectors also. The TV only has
a coax cable connector. There was no coax connector
on the DVD player.

What a disappointment, the picture varied in brightness
on one VCR, we tried another VCR and the picture would
disappear all together. Anyway four VCRs were tried.
One was watchable and three were annoying to watch.

Being puzzled, I rang a friend and was told about this
deliberately introduced signal to bugger up the copying
of movies. I was pissed off as we only want to watch
a movie and can only connect up to the TV via the VCR.
It seems we need a RF modulator unit. So the boy is off
to buy one.

So, how do we get rid of this macro vision bullshit?
Is there a kit that I can buy and build to get rid of it?
Have any of you chaps looked into this problem?
I would like to find out more about it. It is all new to me
at the moment. Please, no lectures on legal issues, I
am only interested in technical stuff. ;-)

John,

I have the latest Jaycar catalogue. They advertise a Channel 0/1
transmitter which will accept video and stereo sound to re-transmit on
Channel 0/1. They are about $20. (I somehow doubt they really transmit
in stereo, but I don't actually know.)
