No hack, mod only.

Pioneer, Sony, Panasonic and Toshiba = no remote control hack by owner, irrespective of model number.

most chippers will need you to send the player , others will sell DIY chips but the DIY chips will be 48 pins and VERY difficult to fit

check these sites , you may find one local

The 444 can`t be hacked, but can have it`s firmware modded to make it multi-region. This needs to be done by someone in the know, but it can be done by connecting a PC to the back of the unit. Much better than soldering new chips in and stuff. Get it sent away to one of the above.

I notice have a "Magic solderless" mod for that model for £50.Could save you alot of bother shipping it etc.

Is that the same "plugmod" as featured on this page?

The installation procedure (German -- use Babelfish) seems to be very nice: http://www.dvdupgrades.info/manuals/newplugmod.pdf

Do you have the contact details of a UK supplier..?
