Hi, I'm in the market to buy a DVDR and I did a bit of reaserch and found these 3 models that would fit my needs (below). I want to be able to play region free DVDs, able to record from my TV, VCR and DVD (including copy righted or macrovision). Looks like the lite-on 5005 would be a good device to do all of that using the hacked firmware. Also, the yamakawa DVR 628 is region and macrovision free (was told that by their tech support). Also, I just found a great deal on the lite-on LVC 9006 (DVDR + VCR) combo for 250 us dollars. But I'm not sure if there are any hacks to make it macrovision and region free. 250 dollars is my range for buying this device. I would appreciate any help in deciding which unit to buy. Thanks a lot. Andy
... I really like my LiteOn LVW-5005 ... Haven't used any hacked firmware but there's a great forum that will provide you lots of info ...
