That's tempting Jamo...... But I'll be getting this one:-

Panasonic DMP-BDT220 MultiRegion 3D Blu-ray Player Skype Wi-Fi 3 Year Warranty

Due to its region code hacking capability (plus the two free Blu-rays deal).

 

don't pay that

Yeah I know that's the 'going rate' for the 220..... But it lacks the firmware mod to allow remote control region hacking.

And I MUST have the multi region capability (for both BD and DVD) -- it's the only reason why I'll be getting it (compared to my current Samsung).





...Or is said f/w 'mod' just a simple update to the very latest f/w version?

 

I thought Bluerays were none region? I had it in my mind that they all play on all players?

 

NO mate.

Check out your link to that ad... It's "Region B"-only for Blu-ray i.e. Europe (and some other territories).


I need Blu-ray regions A, B and C (well, A and B mainly).

And DVD regions 1-8 (well, 1 and 2 mainly).... Which the item in the ad to my link has (I've confirmed it with the seller).

 

We're looking at upgradign the whole AV thing at the moment.

We'll be getting a 'smart' TV so why do I also want to need a DVD player that can go online? surely that is just pointless is it not?

 

5t, you're right, you don't need both. I do have both because the Bluray i recommended in fekkin JUNE is also Smart, but i never use its Smart capabilities.


What i want to know is why the ITV, C4 and C5 catch-up services aren't available on Smart equipment. It's 2012 for God's sake, get it sorted.

 

Agreed! It's really bugging me.

It's the 'final piece of the Smart TV jigsaw' AFAIC.

 

Cheers TelBoy.

Gettign a bit fed up of paying twice for the same bloody thing and none of it actually working properly.

It should be either online or not. Quite simple and the kit should work as one, especially if you bought it from the same provider, it's just an excuse to charge more for features that aren't needed.

Basically, I don't want to TV and DVD player competing for bandwidth with the phone and laptop!

 

But they don't unless you activate them do they?

My telly is also Panasonic so it links well to the Bluray, but i woudn't say the link is essential, it's just nice to have remotes that can operate both.

 

I dunno. No idea how it works, hence askign here before some yoof in Dixons tries to have my trousers down.

Still it's going to be sold to me as a feature I don't blooming need.

 

I hear comet may have a good sale on soon after sales maybe a bit pants though lol

I might go comet this afternoon, mate rang me up from store said it was 20% off yesterday

??

 

Then go to richersounds to price match

 

I left 180 quid with those ***** in the early nineties when they wouldn't give me my money back on a voucher I had. (couldn't decide what I wanted for a year, after returning an av player I'd bought from them)
Found myself in there recently looking for an LG. Tv, what the **** was in thinking

Went somewhere else when I'd snapped to my senses

 

Richersounds have always been spot on for me.

 

Bought 220eb for 120 , could be worse

Wondering wether should gone for a whole package tho

Ive just got a Toshiba 3d player from costco, however I am getting loads of crosstalk when trying to play in 3d, Ive tried it on auto and every other setting, has anyone got any clues why its doing it or where I am going wrong?

Cheers

 

Can you elaborate on the crosstalk problem?

I think we need a Home AV topic on here, I love it.

 

 

The new "TrueHD-3D" products are indeed 1080P mate. Its nothing like the garbage sky feeds you with their splitscreen 3D which is low res to each eye.

On a good film, my 3D is actually on a par with the 2D image, but films that good are few and far between. my favourite to date for absolute image quality is Prometheus.

However, be aware that the glasses also play a big part.

 

Is Sky's 3D signal only '540i' i.e. in effect, only 270p for both eyes, then?!!

 

Kind of, but horizontal split, not vertical as your numbers suggest.

Sky use the side by side format that loses half the horizontal resolution and outputs 2x 960x1080 images on the same screen where as Bluray uses a frame sequential format so that full HD resolution is maintained as long as you have an active 3D TV that can output it properly.

 

Oh yeah - forgot to take that on board! Oops


Makes sense.
