I tried doing a pass-through from my DVD to TV on a circa-1980 RCA VCR. What I experienced was a periodic darkening and brightening of the picture. Not really a degradation or noise, as Macrovision is supposed to do, but the periodic effect must have come from the circuitry in the VCR being slightly out of sync with the DVD signal in some way.
