OT - F&H is the brand of satnav that Ebuyer now sell. I believe this is just the Navigo v3 rebranded.
So I suspect this BD player is the Momitsu unit rebranded.

Is it automatic, or do you need to enter codes, etc, every time you swap regions?
Cheers.

1 button press, or a bit of a long process?
edit - reading the manual, says it also supports .mkv through usb  . and it cannot play discs containing PAL programs :S

It's the momitsu hack 973501 etc.
I've not really checked the upscaling. I'm used to the Oppo, so I'll compare to that and let you know.
Plays pal discs fine, however you have to set colour system manually, which is poor.
