Page 1 of Macrovision hack for Lecson or Encore anybody????????????????????????

Does anyone know of or have the remote hack to disable macrovision on the Lecson or Encore? Or do u need to crack them open and destroy your warranty?

Also is there any decent players round the 200 quid mark with macrovision already disabled?

Manni, the 450 needs a firmware flash (back to Sampo 560 days) to disable macrovision.

In the olden days (ie about a month ago) you could download the stuff from a German site and burn them onto CD, which could then be stuck into your player. Unfortunately the key firmware upgrade has vanished,as has the English speaking version of the site.

But, fret ye not. I have in my possession the two discs you need (cheers, Bedlam - they`ve been to Warwickshire...where next, I wonder?!)

If interested, post on this forum

Clayts,

Have you got the 3.3 update? Does this/any wipe out the region 1 lip sync probs??

I have an orig Sampo with the nice and happy macrovision disable thru the hack - will it stay disabled with the firmware upgrade??

I have, but if you`ve got a CD-writer it may be quicker to get in touch with Bedlam (see various threads relating to the 450 in the Hardware Forum.

The 3.3 version does NOT eradicate the macro disable, but make sure you`ve disabled it before doing the update because that part of the loopholes menu disappears with 3.3 (ie goes over to Encore screen).
