It does appear to be last come, first served at the moment. I would imagine that it's not like they have a huge amount of staff to pack all those dvds into all those envelopes, keeping track of what is going where etc.

I really hope mine arrives before the end of the week. As the person who discovered two of the faults, this is shocking treatment. :wink: :)

Recieved mine today! A big, big thanks to all involved.
I had also the misfortune to having never gotten the 6th dvd I think it was (it was missing in the set I bought) and said so in my letter I sent along with the faulty dvd's. Optimum, with great grace, gave my that one as well. Fantastic service.
All I want now is the snow that is falling heavily in Denmark as I type this, to keep up the good work and don't stop until I can't get to work tomorrow. I have some dvd's to watch. :lol:

I've received my replacement discs. However, I was quick off the mark and sent discs 2, 6 and 7 to Optimum after the initial announcement instead of discs 3, 6 and 7. I e-mailed them and they said they would send back disc 2, but it hasn't been returned yet. It's been a few days and I've had no answers to e-mails or phone calls.

Received mine yesterday - superb service, delivering them to the Antipodes is such short time.
Now I need to find time to watch them! My laptop sadly is a Lenovo so the DVD drive is RPC-2 region locked, not even AnyDVD will let me view them, so I can't watch them while commuting.
Mrs Peel, you're needed!

I'm thinking about ordering a set. I believe my laptop will play them. If not, I know there are some inexpensive DVD players that can be hacked, maybe one I already have. It would be worth it for all the extras. 8)

Hi Sam.

If you want to know whether your DVD player can be hacked, check http://www.videohelp.com/.

My DVD player and my home computer have no problem, it's just laptops with Matsushita DVD-ROM drives - nothing can make them unscramble DVD keys! I've tried firmware and software approaches without success. There's a rumour of a hacked firmware but as it's a work machine I don't want to use it.
