I meant to edit my post before you responded but I do remember reading that thread at some point but I can't remember if I tried that hack or not but if I did how would I know. Would the Oppo still show 4A-0209 before and after the hack?

If I cycle through the HDMI button on the remote I can cycle to 1080i and it shows Oppo startup screen on my tv screen plus it shows 1080i, would this confirm I already did the hack?
