View Full Version : LG BH100 multiregion capable ? jhazeldene 06-16-08, 06:34 AM I know the BH200 can be made m/r for BD and SD, but what about the LG BH100 ? I have a chance to get one at a cheap price but would need to be sure BD and SD could be made m/r. Also, is the machine now stable with the latest firmware upgrade and without too many problem disks? Thanks. John H PS it would be a UK machine if that matters bradavon 06-16-08, 02:49 PM Some members in the Main BH100 thread have confirmed: * They're BD Region Free out of the box, despite what the menus/box says. This has been confirmed by a UK (I'm pretty sure) and USA member. * They're not SD DVD Region Free, however you can use the BH200 SD DVD MR Hack (you'll need to use a DVD instead of CD) to make it Region Free. Read the BH200 Mini-FAQ for it. Some have had trouble getting it to work, but others have been able to. The BH100 thread is only 30 pages along, have a good read through pages 24-30 (the last post of page 24), all the info we know is there :). No it shouldn't matter it's from The UK. jhazeldene 06-17-08, 01:36 AM Some members in the Main BH100 thread have confirmed: * They're BD Region Free out of the box, despite what the menus/box says.
