    Hey every one I was wondering can any one tell me where I can get a multi region dvd player that is already multi region capable. I was fooled into thinking that the sharp DV-SV90H was multi region or at least capable but its not. ( yes i am stupid)Would appreciate the help thanks.

    Argos have 2 Multi-region players in their catalog page 316

    Bush at 44.99 and a Acoustic solutions for 49.99

    Powercity have a Futura model at 54.95 and a Walker player for 49.99

    They are all advertised as multi-region, so I would take it back if they are not already multi-region or cannot be converted easily. Also if you were thinking of the Samsung 850 that machines manufactured this year have a firmware which does not allow earlier handset hack to work.

    Cheers

    Most DVD Players have a Hack to make them region free.
    Look in the stickys to see which players and buy one of them.
    I bought a player in Lidl which I made region free by pressing a combination of buttons on the remote.
