Bush DVD 143TV

Hi all :D

Right i`ve worked this out myself lol

(all buttons on remote)
1 Press DVD/TV button
2 Press the DVD function
3 Press open
4 Press stop
5 Press display
Now you get the firmware version number (i think) and below it the region number on screen, now is this the start of a way to change it or just an information screen.
Any help would be appreciated, so for those who would kindly take a look here is a link to a couple of screenshots. After you click on "screenshots" the first pic is what you get pressing the above buttons and the second is just the setup page which i have included in case anyone can identify the chip etc.
Link is here mysite.freeserve.com/bingbonguk
Thanks in advance for any help :D

Have you tried the Roadstar TVD1437 hacks on this site? Mainly the 1369 hack.

Thanks for trying PARIS but all that does is scroll from tv type to tv display on the setup menu with no visible results.
Just to check, for NEXT i pressed >>I and for PREV i pressed I<<, tried it slow and fast lol.
