Are there any clever sods out there that can tell me of a Remote Macrovision hack for the schneider 855?
I have the Multi region one but am desperate for the Macrovision one.
Any help?

If you can`t disable Macro, what, on the upgrade CD from Schneider, is the `Secret Menu 2` with the on/off option?

I can`t access this menu on my player, but if you open the CD in a PC text editor it`s clearly there.

I think Mickey probably meant to say - The macrovision remote hack for the Schneider hasn`t been found yet. Si`s right, the Secret Menu 2 On/Off is in the ROM but how you acrivate it is still a secret.

You want to email Schneider UK technical support for advise as it sounds like you have a legit reason for switching this off. And when you have it - Share the info ;)

Good idea W1zz. Why don`t you have a go, pretending to have his symptoms.
I only suggest this because i think you know a lot more about what`s required, and also by the looks of it, the other guy looks to be an evening person!
GOOD LUCK IF YOU WISH TO TAKE UP THIS TASK!

Found this in the region hacks forum - not ideal, but it`s a start!

Don`t know if it works as I don`t have any region 0 disks.

Cheers
