Home Entertainment, Part 2

[gervase_fen]

Well, the Multi-region hack worked, but the Macrovision one didn't - but for some reason the Macrovision picture flashing only tripped in on some of the DVDs that I've tested. All the BBC DVDs, Network's "A Very Peculiar Practice" and BMG's "Our Friends in the North" played back fine, as did some of my Region 1 disks - "Citizen Kane", "This is Spinal Tap", "Charade" and, most surprisingly, my last purchase, "The West Wing".

The player is here to stay, and I'll be investigating other ways round Macrovision over the weekend - in between watching episodes of AVPP.

Congratulations! I don't know if my DVD player has a Macrovision hack, and the VCR player with which it lives is broken and probably not worth repairing; but multiregion it does, well.

'Our Friends in the North' is on my list of programmes to acquire - just as soon as I've got through 'Edward the Seventh' and the rest.
