While a time base corrector is a good thing to use, as it'll also fix up
other tape playback issues (if it'll accept a copy protected signal, in
the first place), a cheaper option may be one of the many de-macrovision
or video stabiliser boxes that are available.  They just replace the
syncs, and don't do anything else to the video signal.

I do something like that just to watch macrovision stuffed up tapes and
discs, here.  All of our television sets get the jitters while playing
them.
