My question is has anyone used the firmware to emove macrovision. I found through a link in this forum, but I want to be sure it will not ruin my recorder. Plz let me know.
I have. It does not remove macrovision, it makes it less sensitive when recording from personal VHS tapes to the Ilo.
I have set up a page with the different DVDR04/HD04 firmware files for download. The link is next to my signature at the bottom of this post. It has hacked firmware for the non HDD model to disable Macrovision and add the LP 3-hour mode. It also has instruction for doing the update using Nero to make the update disc. I have also added the 'region-free' instructions to the site. ILO DVDR04/HD04 Firmware Download Page http://www.ss3f.com/ilo/
