I have just bought a Toshiba RDXV59DT with Region 2 restriction on it. I paid £4 to a site the said it had hacks for every machine on the UK market but it didn't! At least it provided me with an URL to this forum. Can anyone help me?

Hi, can you confirm if any of the hacks worked please?

No they don't

Bill,
Shawnduhast is correct, they don't work on this machine. Indeed, the only response seems to be that one of them wiped out the EPG programming memory. Of course it could have been something else that did that!
