Page 1 of Why do some players have Remote Hacks and others have to be chipped??

The heading says it all.
Players like Sony and Panny need to be chipped apparently while others have remote hacks-likw the Whalfy M5 or the LG3350. WHY??
Thanx
Have a good one.

All down to the manufacturers...
Recently, great pressure has been brought on DVD player manufacturers regarding multi-region and Macrovision issues, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy players that are multi-region and/or Macro disabled. Bear in mind, that the regions were invented for a reason, same as Macrovision, and "bending" the rules doesn`t please everyone!
