Hi, Has anyone managed to unlock the region restrictions (DVD or BLU Ray) from this machine. I know it is early days, but someone may have tried.

Thanks

I'm hoping some of the hacks listed on www.videohelp.com will work since some of them were just command codes. But I haven't heard of any successes yet.

..since I'm counting , I got curious, and found this:

Which has some interesting tidbits and info about frame rates and deinterlacing which sound great. (Except... I don't like the part about 2:2 pulldown being done only for DVDs. What about a High Definition Oklahoma!, shot at 30fps? It would need 2:2 puldown. There's also music videos and animation done at 30fps too, among other things. And what about programs shot on film at PAL rate (25fps), like the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour and Farscape, for example?)
