Actually I use a cheap £19.99 Cyberhome bought from amazon after my
expensive Philips model threw a hissy over some of the newer DVDs.
Came with the added advantage of having region free instructions on
the Amazon site. So far it has played everything I've put into it
except for the subtitles on Hellboy and one of the Spiderman DVDs.
Can't figure that one out cos they play okay on the PC.
