RE: RCE encoded disk Hack?

If you can make your Toshiba to a R1(not multi) it should play with no problem

RE: Toshiba RD-XS30 and D-R1 DVD Recorders

I have a Toshiba RD-XS30

Its a great machine with the exception of 1 scart in etc

and the R2 encoding so i`m also looking for a region hack when i contacted Toshiba explaining that i owned a lot of R1 and R3 dvd`s living in various places and travelling alot they stated that it they could not supply any method for changing the region and any firmware upgrade to do so would result in the guarentee becoming void.

Its a free country so why are we being dictated too?

Funny?

Last week a friend was in a certain hifi store (R***** if i was this i would have no money problems) buying a DAB radio and he swears that a guy came out of the back of the store and he happened to hear " thanks for these we will be paying them a visit", he said he didnt think anything of it.

4 days later in the local paper " 5 people have had there homes searched in what appears to be illegal dvd copying and unauthorised ntl use".

He has only just told me this and now im wondering if stores have now been told to keep a check of people asking about copying or macrovision etc

What is your opion of this , i don`t know if to believe him as i did see the story in the local paper but i can`t see any shops doing this as it would breach your rights surely?

Dvd Recorders?

Ok the kids want a dvd recorder for xmas

Ive looked at several including the cheap ones and the more expensive ones with hd`s etc.

Roughly got £1,000 to spend on either 1 real good one or 2 cheaper ones.

Now is there a web site that compares them? ie connections , facilities etc

(im sure i came across one a few weeks back and lost the site address - it included the Mico from Sainsbury`s , The Toshiba with Hd and other`s etc).

RE: where can i buy a cheap dvd that will play copied films

You want a dvd player that will play everything try your local computer store they tend to sell dvd players take a disc with you.

RE: Cheapest price for a 106 Pioneer DVDR ?

Neogames in Stoke have them for £85 inc vat http://www.neogames.co.uk
and postage is now cheaper check them out.



Lets not forget that 2 weeks back several companies stated that they had made 16speed media and fully tested it, and announced it would be available middle of next year probably about a tenner a disc, But if the media is there what are the odds that the 16speed dvdr will be there?

When the 16speed comes out the 8 speed will plummit in price worth hanging on a couple of months me thinks because a 2-4 speed will seem so dated when the 16 speed is available.

RE: satalite on my p/c

Via Broadband? never heard of recieving satellite channels via broadband
i know of cards that will enable you to recieve satellite channels via a dish and then with the correct software will enable you to get foreign encrpyed channels however the german package which showed films sport etc changed encryption last month, and the spanish package will change at the end of December so whats the point?

Also i know of cards that enable you with the proper software to recieve all the channels from a cable operator here in the uk, however you do require a legit box to cover your activities BUT the company is aware of this and is currently looking at doing something about this illegal activity.

RE: DVD Player £ 37.99 from Aldi

I bought a similar machine for my son last november from Aldi

at first it was great, then within a month it had to be returned for repair , it was returned back to us, fine then the led display started to flicker on and off so it was returned, we got it back then fine again then it started to playback very jerky so off it went again.

And it looks as though its due to go back because the dvd player is not displaying the picture via the scart , tried several scart leads and different tv`s etc.

RE: Steer clear of Medion!!!!!!

My m8 bought a pc from aldi last January. In March due to the the sony cdr refusing to work he got it touch with them they came out and replaced it, 3 weeks later the dvd drive failed they came back and replaced that, then it wouldnt recognise anything connected to any ports so out they came, took the pc back and replaced motherboard after waiting 5 weeks. September it went again so he got intouch they said they would send someone out to it,October the engineer arrived stating that no one was in the last time he called when my m8 asked what date it was he couldnt say.

They fixed it - November the motherboard started to play up again( i suggested to find a bios upgrade for the mainboard, MSI said they didnt support that board) not recognising anything connected then the sony cdr went again, he contacted them, they said someone would be out on the monday he stayed in, no one showed up,got intouch with them- well to cut the story short january arrived and the computer still hadnt been fixed, so he got intouch with them who told him the warranty was now invalid and if he wanted it fixing he would have to pay.

This computer has nothing to do with me what so ever , im just telling u his story with medion.

RE: IMPORTANT - UK High Court ruling on CD importation

Britain Ripp Off

But it doesnt have to be a ripp off country - if people didnt stand for it and we used people power and boycotted shops who ripp off it , they could have 2 choices sell cheaper stuff or go bust.

If cd wow isnt allowed to sell cheaper dvd`s etc i will never buy a cd from any uk based cd shop again.

Lets begin to boycott rip off prices.
