    Hi all, not sure if I am posting in the right forum. Have seen a box set I want to get,however it's only available in region 0.

    Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what I can do? I had thought about streaming but I have really bad download speed so it would freeze on me (tried streaming before).

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Region 0 is region free. You will have no problems playing Region 0 DVD's on a region 2 DVD player.

    There may be a code available to unlock the region restriction.

    You may be able to watch them on your PC using VLC, or your player may be region-free to begin with as a lot of dearer ones have become recently.

    Macbook pros allow to change the region of your dvd drive a limited number of times.

    If you can get your hands on one, you could copy the dvd and make it region free
