Knowing how many Anglophiles live in the area I am hoping that someone can help. A colleague uses the segment on the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand from this BBC series and his very old VHS tape finally died. He looked online and the only available DVD copies are not compatible with US DVD players. It is available through Netflix and Amazon Prime, but we like to have an actual copy for those many days when the internet is slow or dysfunctional. Does anyone have a U.S. compatible copy they are willing to sell?
Your DVD player *might* have a region unlock code. You press a sequence of buttons on your remote and it'll work. Try looking here and see if your model is listed: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks
Otherwise pol100gk is correct in saying that region-free players aren't terribly expensive (less than $40 on Amazon).
