My Criterion`s "Silence of the Lambs" seems to be R0. I hadn`t noticed that there`s no region indication on the box. One more point for Criterion...
And, of course, all porn DVDs are R0

Maybe. Disks can be coded for NTSC (525 line/60Hz) or PAL (625 line/50Hz) display. Whether an R0 disk will play then depends not on region coding but on whether your player can handle the disk, and if so whether your TV can handle the resulting signal. All (?) UK players can handle NTSC and PAL disks, but most US players will reject a PAL disk, whatever the region coding. Most recent UK TV`s can handle NTSC signals. Some players (like the Samsung 709) can convert NTSC disks to PAL format.
