RE: Looking for region free hack for a Tech Line DVD-621

I had the same problem. They advertised it as codefree, but apparently they are supposed to give you the unlocking instructions when you buy it. I went back to ask and they gave me the sheet. Here are the original (German) instructions and my English translation.

Auf Deutsch:
[list=a]
[*] Gerät einschalten (Power On)
[*] Stellen Sie sicher, dass sich keine Disk im Gerät befindet (Anzeige: "NO DISC").
[*] Drücken Sie hintereinander viermal auf die Zifferntaste "9" der Fernbedienung.
[*] Im OSD Menü erscheint die Anzeige des aktuellen Regionalcodes.
[*] Drücken Sie nun eine der Tasten "1" - "6" entsprechend dem Regionalcode, welchen Sie wählen möchten. Um das Gerät codefree zu schalten, drücken Sie die Ziffer "9".
[*] Des Gerät ist nun wieder einsatzbereit.
[/list=a]

In English:
[list=a] [*] Turn on the device (Power)
[*] Ensure that there is not a disc in the device (Front display: "NO DISC").
[*] Press the "9" key on the remote four times in a row.
[*] The current regional code will appear in the OSD menu.
[*] Now press one of the "1" - "6" keys to choose the regional code you would like to select. To set the device to codefree, press the number "9".
[*] Device is now reprogrammed.
[/list=a]

NOTE: I don`t remember really seeing the old regional code appear after I hit 9 four times, but I just kept on hitting 9 until it showed up on the TV and it worked fine.

He could be trying to point out the free Bryce 3D software, but if he is, he`s not making it very clear.

RE: Big Train - Series 1 And 2 (Two Discs) only £11.69

Kung Fu - Box Set - Third/3rd Season - When???

Hi,

I`ve been waiting for what seems an age for the DVD box set of the third season of "Kung Fu". It`s been out in the States for absolutely ages so does anyone know when it`s coming out in the UK or how to go about asking when it`s going to be released on R2?

Thanks :)

RE: £10 printer back at Dell

It seems (from another forum) that the price has now gone up - £22 delivered.

RE: [GC] Spring`s here. It`s still cold outside and you still need to feed your Gamecube!

RE: pc bargains

Unfortunately, the postage is expensive (e.g. a minimum of £4 on the camera ... some items have a minimum of £6.95).

RE: Sagem MYX2-2 - Orange PAYG £15.99

Hi I am thinking of buying the phone either from Amazon or play.com, can anyone confirm that the phone is unlocked? Thanks

RE: [GC] Bah, Humbug. Junk food for XMAS!

RE: [Xbox] Freedom Fighters for £2.99! Soulcalibur II for £4.99!

It was in-store in my local store (Sutton, Surrey). No copies of Freedom Fighters left, but the empty "Stock currently unavailable" boxes were priced at £2.99. Soul Calibur 2 was available at £4.99. Good deal!
If I didn`t have a chipped Xbox, I`d go for it ;o)
