If macrovision closed captioning, etc. prove to be an issue there are boxes available to remove such from a video signal.

The isolation transformer is for the power connection for the set. Most sets without an internal power transformer have one side of the cord connected directly to the chassis which presents a shock hazard.

Welcome to VK, and enjoy your stay!
What kind of "box" gets rid of macrovision? I need one myself!
