Yah if you can defeat the AGC that would do it. And there were very inexpensive
boxes that use to be for sale that would do it.... In the days of Wometco Home Theater
over broadcast tv in NJ it was a home brew activity to build yer own little box for that.
It involved restoring the sync pulse to its proper amplitude. I imagine its just about
the same for macrovision.

This is the way the box use to be advertised, just like this one on ebay today....

It's the brightening and darkening of the pic, it makes a copy loose sync.
I think it would be cool to get one and reverse engineer it....
