Does the region free remote hack for blu-ray and DVD discs still work with the latest firmware update?

I'm running a Oppo 203 player thru a 85" Sony x90ch tv , I also have a 65" lg oled tv that has 3d which has better effects than 4k with the limited titles available. Both have dolby vison & I can run it thru my tv's or have Oppo do it. I also bought a Nvidia shield Andriod Tv Pro to play some titiles I download in 4K and/or DV.

Lol actually that was my price point and picked it up and others 😁.

That movie is a great example on how this whole jump the chain and get a better display is a better thing to do is a kinda misleading IMO.

I don't know which player you have but if you play the UHD which has HDR and the BD disc you will see how it will not do much with PQ.

Unfortunately the transfer of that movie isn't very good and the advantage of HDR just isn't taken advantage in the transfer.

The display displays what it's fed, no way around that.
Tone mapping doesn't correct a bad transfer it just downscales the transfer so your display can process it.

"this is getting humorous"!!!!
This keeps coming up AGAIN because of your BB logic!!!πŸ™„

Here let me try dumb it down for you!
The "specs" on the 820 regarding "Dolby" for my overhead setup are NO benefit over the 420.
Because the 820 has "DV" and the 420 does not is completely IRRELEVANT regarding that!!!…..Geeez πŸ™„

Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are NOT the same thing!!!!!

Here is more humor logic:
You buy a high end 4K OLED display and you say your audio setup "dwarfs" your display but yet your are sweating a $150 player!!!! πŸ€”

Even better you keep your 1080P BD player because BB told you a 4K player wouldn't be better!!! 😳πŸ€ͺ

To take advantage of actual 4K content you choose to watch compressed PQ and even more compressed AQ 4K streaming on that high end OLED display and high end audio setup!!!! 🀣

Let me guess BB told you with 4K streaming you will take full advantage DV content and you only need this expensive TV to do so!!!! 😜

So out of curiosity why haven't you upgraded to object based codecs?
No offense, but you can't read and understand, vision is separate from sound, DV and DA, therefore dolby is related to both. You keep playing off words but come across like an uneducated technical internet buff. Now tell me you bought the 820 to get better PQ than the 420 not using DV. I can't imagine how each day is for you and your partner

LOL Rofl2 talk about "reading and understanding!!!

"vision is separate from sound, DV and DA, therefore dolby is related to both"
Either you're really stupid or .....really stupid!!!!
Just because they are "related" based on the fact that they were "both" developed by them does not make your silly remark relevant!!!

"I'm surprised with a Dolby overhead layout you don't have the 820 with DV"

You do realize I'm going strictly on your "words" so if anyone is coming off as "an uneducated technical idiot" well your looking in mirror! Paperbag

If you are going to call people out you might want to know what the hell you are talking about!
I don't blame you for not answering my simple questions, when you read it all out kinda embarrassing Peace

Since Ms. Killjoy brought it up I'll give my opinion from personal experience.

Main difference is DV and the extra adjustments with "tone mapping modes" are more for people that like to tweak their PQ, example are PJ owners.
Since PJ's can't do DV the 820 is way overkill.

The 420 processes HDR better than any player in this price range(it's the same as the 820).
Since DV is dynamic HDR you get whatever the transfer of the movie gives you.
Depending on that transfer, the HDR processing on the 420 can rival a movie with DV.

The bigger difference is upscaling to 4K, the 420 does that even better.
It does it so well that depending on the transfer of the movie, BD disc may rival 4k streaming.

This player will give you the best PQ from all three disc formats and no issues that people often bring up with other players.
What is this like vs an Xbox One (X)? Any idea?

From personal comparison IMO quality wise not even close especially with upscaling.

Upon saying that if you do any amount of gaming and don't want another device for movie disc you could easily get away with just the X and live with it.

On top of that if you're using a soundbar or entry level speakers for sound , another reason to stick to the X.

Great unit. I bought this for my 1080p projector and home theater just to decode Atmos DTX DVD content. Cannot wait to run 4K...

Xbox one s user here. Got the 420 and popped in lotr fellowship theatrical bluray. TV is tcl 65 inch 4k

Out of box cant say there is a massive upgrade from xbox. Some scenes with faces i think look better but others with trees, long shots still look blurry and not 4k clear. I know its still pretty early so time will tell if I actually keep the 420
Edit. Just popped in venom 4k and it looked glorious. Things looking up

Source material makes a huge difference. Just the same where many Blu-Rays aren't much better than the DVD, there are 4K releases that aren't much of a PQ improvement over Blu-Ray. Reference quality material is where you are going to notice the biggest difference in the player.

I have an older 1080p projector....is it worth me upgrading my lowend Blue Ray player for this since Im not taking advantage of 4k? Appreciate an opinion.
I have a 1080p projector as well and it does help a bit with darker scenes since it has better video processing than a cheap Blu-Ray Player (even my wife commented on the difference). If it's strictly to see if you can make the picture look better then I would pass, but if the cheap Blu-Ray player is starting to age (ie no longer getting updates, freezing/loading issues) or develop other issues then I say go for it. I should comment that I also do have a 65 inch 4K Sony set, so I do get some 4K benefit out of this player.

I would add this carries over to streaming.
I know some people have claimed/insinuated they make two different transfers but they never showed proof of it.
