Hey, that's how I hacked my DVD player! We have a region 2 DVD player hooked up to the telly and the bugger wouldn't play American DVDs (region 1) so I found a website that told me how to hack it with numbers but the handset wouldn't cut it. Blow me but there it said I could use a PDA with infrared - and what do I have in my pocket? A Palm 515. Downloaded some software, pointed the Palm at the telly and the penguin on top exploded. No, I mean the thing turned into a region-free DVD player! Cooooool. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________
