When at home I like to have some of my favourite shows in the background while I type away. Some of my favourites animated shows include Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021 and Robot Chicken off Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. Living in the UK means my DVD players are typically locked on Region 2 with a max of 5 changes – thanks Sony. Almost all these shows are only available as Region 1 discs – you see my dilemna? I have unlocked the region protection on previous drives I have owned and have now hunted down a solution for my Dell desktop and laptop.

If you have a Lite-on, which is sometimes disguised as a PBDS drive, download the simple program located here and run the executable. The little app resets all counts at the click of a couple of buttons. Fantastic. Now you can have all the Stimutacs all you want. BE WARNED though you still have the OS counter and any software player counters to contend with as outlined here.

If you want to get your hands on some Aqua Teen or Sealab discs in the UK you can find them at www.playusa.com
