Macrovision started in the early 1980s with video tapes, so even the earliest (VHS) VCRs are probably going to have problems with it. It was designed to mess with the VCRs that were already on the market at that time.
An interesting side note is that they only tested it and designed it with VHS VCRs, which were already the more-popular format as of 1980-81, so most Beta VCRs were not affected by it. If you had a Beta VCR, you could go ahead and make copies of rented movie tapes (from a Beta or a VHS VCR, it did not matter) just fine, except for the big quality loss.
