[opendtv] Re: Blue Ray has competition

I am sipping on a cup of coffee right now, but still, but feathers are not 
ruffled!

I guess my 'issue' was that at first, you railed against the region coding 
scheme.  Then, when it was pointed out that you can readily purchase a 
code-free 
player, you railed against NTSC versus PAL.  So at the end of the day, it's not 
the region coding system that has your feathers ruffled, but rather the lack of 
timely PAL conversions.  These are very different issues.  Your problem would 
not be solved by simply scrapping the region coding system.

As for your experience with region free DVD players, the unit you purchased may 
not have had the ability to convert NTSC->PAL, or the setting that controls the 
output was not correct.  Region free players that convert to either PAL or NTSC 
are readily (more or less) available.
