Unlikely. There have even been designs published in electronics magazines
in the past, and some capture cards and video recorders are naturally
immune to them.

In the USA basically you don't. In the rest of the world its much easier
although with some of the evil US like laws propogating bits of europe
you might have to find devices that "happen" not to care about
macrovision rather than those that remove it specifically.

The Zoran card I have freaks out, the BT848 based card I have really
doesn't notice Macrovision
