I saw these being sold at a computer fair once.

Does anyone know if they actually work?

If they do where is the cheapest place that I can get one from via mail order?

I don't know if they work or not, but the only place I've seen them mail-order is Ringos (he has a thread/link in the bargain forum). It's about 30 quid I think.

I've got a SONEL (http://www.sonel.com) mac remover and it works pretty well. There is a slight distortion at the top of the screen on P&S stuff, if you're watching W/S then you can't see it. Also there is sometimes a bit of distortion if a scene involves lots of bright white, I guess this makes the signal hard to lock on to. Apart from that they're great for the money.

Hope this is of use

Been a while, and just did a search for <b>macrovision</b> looking for macrovision disabling cables.

<b>Phaze</b>? Anyone else?
