    Any Macrovision filter product worth its salt is likely to start around $80, or maybe $50 if made in China
    If the kit at trick dicky for $15 is indeed the old Electronics Australia kit, then it is a bargain, and I can confirm it does remove the macrovision on the mystar, Mine has been going strong for 9 years now

    Some of the cheaper dvd recorders seem to just ignore macrovision protection on recorded Mystar shows, I have found - as for converting to pc formats, run your mystar to a capture card (though most strip macrovision anyway) and record that way, and your laughing

    Smile MyStar to dvd

    I have Mystar HD (Austar) i have set up an svideo video enhancer (Availble at Jaycar $99) out from mystar box to panasonic dvd recorder. it works at bypassing the copy protection. but the quality is not that good. just watching mystar hd on my full hd tv via HDMI is 99% quality on most ch's. when u watch threw the enhancer its poor grainy quality like old vhs. i havent found a better option yet. if anyone has a fix for this, please help. the enhancer does work if u dont care about quality. i do care about quality, but its better then nothing...

    and on ebay

    With the Mystar hd the better solutions are here with the hauppauges able to do SD+HD recordings in h264 codec with acc or ac3 5.1 optical audio recordings to a computer.
