More info: From the look of things you'll need a special CD to upgrade the DVR-5100h to it's region free equivalent. The upgrade is then performed in a few steps: 1. Put the CD in the tray but don't close it. 2. Hold down 'function' and press 'DVD' 3. The tray will close and 'LOAD' is displayed 4. Remove the CD when the tray ejects 5. 'DOWNLOAD-1' is displayed (then 'DOWNLOAD-2' and then 'DOWNLOAD-3'). 6. The tray will close again and the DVR will turn itself off. All done. This region hack will have the DVR automatically select the appropriate region. I know a lot of you will be wanting a copy of the 'file' that's on the CD. However the CD-image is close to 200 megs large which (of course) makes it impossible to e-mail it. I have the CD but have yet to try it since I still haven't decided whether to hack such an expensive DVR and thereby possibly void the 2 year warranty. | |||

Yes, it's true that the macrovision protection, for the moment, can't be solved through a software upgrade. You need to chip the DVR to achieve this (no, sorry, I don't know where such chips are available as of yet). As for uploading the file, it's a bit more complex than that. The CD needed is burnt using a format that displays the CD as without contents when viewed on a computer. Also, size wise, the contents take up quite a few number of megs as have been mentioned already. | |||
