Lost

On the torrents you have, you probably don't have adverts every 15 minutes

 

[Yussef]

Season 2 starts on the 21st September I believe.

True, but I do get the fade to black! Real short adverts of the night sky!

Where did you order from? I really want to get it.

 

[SAS]

Buy it from Play.com, region 1 is £35 where the region 2 dvd set is £26 for just the first 12 episodes!

 

[Mobius]

Bugger. I've no means of playing region 1 DVD's and my computers disc drive is broken. Perhaps I should buy a multiregion DVD player thingy.

 

[Chilly]

new series airing soon?

If you already have a DVD player you may be able to make it region free.

Season 2 airs on the 21st of Septemeber in the states.

 

[inactionman]

Yup, got it off Playusa.

If you need a new DVD player Special Reserve are doing a multiregion/DIVX player for £34 (http://specialreserve.co.uk/Eltax-DV-153-Compact_2846_r.html). They even have one with 5.1 for only £4 more.

DVD players are ridiculously cheap these days, I remember having to pay £300 for one!

 

[Mobius]

Hmm, I've got a Hikona DVD player (its shat) ... and its not even on the website! It must be even worse than I originally suspected.

i paid £900 for mine when i got it 6 years ago, luckily i got my money back on ebay few months ago.

now am using xbmc which turns the xbox into a very minta media box

 

[Panda On Smack]

As with lots of things you get what you pay for so if its stupidly cheap then its probably gonna be a crap quality player.

I use XBMC for avi's but the DVD player isnt great so i use my normal player for DVD films

 

[JBP|]

£30 from asda, everyone's a winner

The newest version of XBMC has a new DVD player module incorporated into it. It's still a little buggy, but it's coming along nicely. I still use the standard XBOX DVD Player to play my DVDs. Not had any probs so far.

All I'm waiting for now is for XBMC to support RatDVD

Thanks mate. I just ordered that multiregion DVD player, as well as Lost from Playusa. Woohoo.

Poor lad, he'll probably get lumped with some mighty import tax now

 

[Mobius]

What.

 

[inactionman]

Got my mum one of those Eltax's as well, so she can watch season 2 lost when it airs and I don't need to do any annoying transcoding!

I've got a modded xbox running XBMC as well, very handy when connected to my NAS! a bit OT, but does anyone else get running XBMC get lip sync problems with some types of movie file? I think it's down to the processor barely being up to some of the new codecs.

 

[dysfunction]

What.

ha ha!!!

Sometimes, but if it's out steadily by a certain amount then you can tweak around with the audio delay and get it matched up.

its prolly a naff build so update it. ive never had prob with either of mine.

I'm confused. I ordered the DVD player from specialreserve.co.uk - I won't be taxed on that will I? How much will I have to pay on the door for the Lost DVD from PlayUSA? Do they accept cards? I don't keep money in the house.

 

[inactionman]

The post office may (custom's don't always spot the imports) want money off you for importing the lost dvd's. Won't be more than a tenner, you'll have to go to the depot to pay it.

 

[Turamber]

I've been watching this on cable and have enjoyed it so far. But I would say I have enjoyed the 'reality' of their situation far more than the "unexplainable events" that have happened ... unfortunately, after finding a good episode guide for future episodes, it looks like future episodes get stranger and stranger in that department.

To be honest I'm not sure if I shall both to continue to watch now. Drama grounded in reality is fun, but science fiction/fantasy masquerading as drama is not my bag.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry to much about getting stung. i've ordered DVDs and games from abroad quite a bit and only got stung once (Indiana Jones R1 Box Set was uncut ). Was about £10. Most companies mark DVDs as gifts to get past the customs duty, but I think customs like to charge for a couple here and there. Just to get some extra cash flow from time to time

 

[Chilly]

I wouldn't judge it too early. I have the feeling that the new series will bring all this so called magic and whatnot crashing down with a few cunningly revealed secrets.

Spoiler

Possibly a few key bits of real technology making it *seem* as though something funky is going on

.

 

[Draylor]

I have the feeling

Feeling based upon having watched the start of series 2?

If its a UK company (website being a .co.uk) then you shouldnt be have to pay anything extra for taxes.

Play USA may incure the VAT of 17.5% though...

They will accept a cheque/bank transfer or any other ayment method if you have to pay any extra taxes...

Normally it's Customs duty of 3% plus 17.5% VAT on top of that, plus about £2-£3 to the post office for the privilege of receiving the goods.

Unfortunately playusa don't mark things as gifts, otherwise you'd be fine up to £36. When you ordered the lost boxset they should have told you all about this on a page you had to click through to place the order...

I notice ep 201 has downloaded at home, now all I have to do is wait until I get home to watch it!
