What are the best cheap UK multi-region up-converting players?
(with HDMI 1080i/p output)

Also, I would like it if I could download the manuals to a few of the good ones.
I want a cheap one (less than £60 or £70 if possible). I would like tons of good features and good up-scaling and it has to be multi-region capable please.

PS: Is there/will there be a newer Blu-ray player that is multi-region capable for standard definition discs? I'm just wondering for the future - I don't really want to get a new player yet as they're expensive and not Profile 1.1 in the UK - I'm just wondering if any will be multi-region SD capable (like I think the bdp1000 was). But this question is mostly asking about SD players.

Are there no good cheap multi-region up-converting players in the whole of the United Kingdom?

Thanks. I've read that that might not have the best remote control.

What do you think about Pioneer DV600AV (obviously not as cheap)
Also, on the manual page it says something like DV600AV-S and DV600AV-something else - but amazon only says DV600AV

PS: I don't suppose any recent Blu-ray players will play multi region SD-Discs (other than BDP1000)?

Also, do any do motion interpolation of any kind?
