I went to town today for the sole purpose of buying the Sharp DVS97 HDMI dvd
player (for 125euros).
The brochure I had been looking at said it was "Multi-format + Divx"...
clearly any sane person would conclude that that was their way of saying
"multiregion" without _saying_ multiregion... but, alas, no.
The guy in the shop was very apologetic. I think he's had a lot of interest,
but little sales for that very reason. ...Like _who_ in their right minds
with the capability to actually _use_ the HDMI slot would actually
_consider_ buying a non-multi-region dvd player!?
He said he had been checking the internet for a hack, but no luck. I checked
a while ago and had no luck with it either.
My Momitsu DVI player has been hit&miss with DVDs for a while now. Lately it
has been very reluctant to let go of any dvds too (I mean it can sometimes
take hours of 'cooling off' before the eject button works!).
It's time for it to go. But what to replace it with? (I want a player not a
HTPC).
I'd rather buy local due to the on/off troubles and necessity for firmware
upgrades I've had with the Momitsu. I know others have bought Momitsus and
Yamadas (?) and similar/same machines without problems, but I'd only
consider an online purchase if I could be _certain_ that the machine will
work with no faults/stutters/lock-jaw/etc.
So with those provisos in mind... is there _any_ 100% reliable HDMI or DVI
dvd player out there?
-Kevin.
