    Assuming it's a DVD and not a Blu-Ray, can you see region code '2' mentioned on the box? A lot of programs made for TV don't bother with region encoding.

    DVD region code 2 means Europe so it will not (officially) work in NZ which is region 4.

    Although the article does highlight under New Zealand and Australian law region locking players maybe illegal under their laws. Its also relatively easy to place a DVD player into factory mode ( no region )
