I'd say that's probably the regular version of the player, unless it specifically says it's region free. The regular version is cheaper, but only plays Region 1 DVDs. The one at 220-electronics has been hardware modified to play all regions of DVDs, and it also has a PAL to NTSC converter...

I just did a quick search for info on the Samsung player Marianna mentioned. Looks like it will only play .avi files via USB, so no .mp4 playback. I just bought a new Blu-Ray player, the Sony BDPS-5500, which will play mp4 files from USB. I've tried a few downloaded .mp4 files with it, and...

Speaking of LOTSW and HD...for those who are technically inclined, or at least interested in TV technology, here's an interesting article about one of the HD camera systems used to shoot the show. http://rogueelementfilms.co.uk/images/TVBE%20Aug%20P30-31%20summerwine.pdf

We could start a North Carolina LOTSW fan club...if we weren't so far apart. I'm in Western NC, near Asheville. I don't post very often here, but I check the forum at least a couple times a week. Interesting that there are at least 3 NC folks on here.

I'm resurrecting this slightly old thread (hope that's okay) because I just finished watching series 11 for the first time. (I'm watching a bit out of order...I saw series 12 and most of 13 before watching 11). This was a really good series. Most everyone has said that "Three Men and a Mangle"...

This was the first series I saw that featured Compo. All the episodes I had seen before watching this series were after his death. I re-watched this series recently and I thought it was really good overall. I really like "Beware of the Elbow." If you described this episode's plot to someone who...

I think you may have your region numbers reversed Marianna (1 is the US discs, 2 is the UK discs), but I understand what you're saying. Sounds like the Region 2 (UK) release looks better than the Region 1, and at least it's uncut. I think the wavy video effect has something to do with the way...

I've just finished watching this series for the first time and I really enjoyed it. I love the fact that Seymour actually got a proper farewell scene and didn't just disappear like so many other characters. And I also liked how Clegg & Compo realized they didn't really have anything to do...

I've got a question about the Series 21 & 22 DVD set. I thought about buying this one a while back, but started reading a lot of reviews on Amazon UK that referred to bad picture quality. I checked out the Region 1 "Vintage 2000" (aka series 21) from the library and the picture quality on it is...

This series is where I thought the show really got interesting. I like a lot of what I've seen of the first 8 series, but I think Seymour and his family added so much to the show. I love Seymour's inventions, like the bicycle powered drill and his voice-activated door. Edie learning to drive in...

Well, I just learned something new. I had no idea that Charlotte has a PBS station. I thought UNC-TV was the only one in NC. We only get UNC-TV here. I was recording the show back when UNC-TV last aired it, but they only went as far as "Catching Digby's Donkey."

Thanks to everyone for being very welcoming! I've posted in some other forums (not for LOTSW) that were pretty much the opposite of welcoming, so it's nice to see the entire internet hasn't gone barmy. I wish ours would show it more often. I can't remember exactly the last time it was on...

It does look like that BFS DVD was a direct transfer from a VHS tape...a worn out VHS tape. The picture quality is not good at all on that release. I've had that one for years, but I have yet to watch "Getting Sam Home" because of the not so great picture quality. (I know, I know...I should...

Hello all, I discovered this forum a couple weeks ago and have been lurking a while, and I finally decided to join. I got started watching LOTSW about 11 years ago or so when it was on North Carolina's PBS station. They stopped airing it not too long after that and I sort of drifted away from...
