Macrovision blocking cables (for legal use!)

Hi,

Due to my ageing telly having no scart socket, I have to hook my Yakumo Master XL2 DVD player up to my VCR via Scart sockets and then connect the VCR to the telly by just using the stand aerial cable.

Unfortunately, this trips the Macrovision scrambler within the DVD payer which makes the disc unwatchable if it is Macrovision-protected. Those that aren`t play fine.

Macrovision blocking cables are available but obviously I want to choose the right one. I`m tempted by the Multi-Region Scart Lead (http://www.multi-region.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=674) but wondered if anyone one had any recommendations before I part with my hard-earned cash?

Thanks in advance for all advice offered!
