The only one I know of is the APEX DVD player with the loop hole menu you can disable it there. But they have recalled all of them so Its either Ebay or gool luck Finding one that works. There are many others that use the chipset but I am not sure on those. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

i think you open the top of the case, find the chip with the macrovision logo on it and hit it with a hammer.

There has to be someone out there who has a black box that'll disable macrovision for ya. Search the net.
