    I don't understand much of the language but with a bit of application
    I managed to figure out how to register and then the ordering was
    straight-forward. They certainly send to Australia, my copies of
    Series 1 and 2 have arrived and the others are on their way. They
    charge 20 Euros for postage, supposedly only one charge but I'm not
    certain about that yet.

    There may be some way to turn off the sub-titles but for a reason I
    cannot work out, not all of the text onscreen is visible making it
    impossible to select something I cannot see. Perhaps a lista might
    know what I can do to overcome this (something to do with aspect,
    maybe?).

    I went to the trouble of finding a region free DVD player so I can't
    comment. There are plenty of el cheapo DVD players about now, if
    you're stuck with a region x player, maybe investing in a cheap
    region free one might do the trick. Also if you're planning to watch
    DVDs on your computer, using the free VLC player with bypass any
    region locks the installed-with-the-OS player might have (my Mac can
    be changed 5 times then it sticks in whatever the last region was –
    not a practical solution).

    Looking forward to ?how many? hours of the Onedin Line over the next
    few months. I just hope that the rest of the episodes make their way
    on to DVDs.

    Regards

    Subtitles can be turned off, select "ondertitels uit" when you see this
    screen http://www.sound-research.co.uk/splash1.htm

    If you can't see the text for this try using the zoom control on the player.

    Bill.
