If you've figured out how to access the service menu, would you please PM me the codes that you've had success with or whatever's worked for you? I'd really appreciate knowing how to do it... I always bring my own external drives loaded with content and then always go through the same frustration trying to make it work and eventual disappointment at not being able to watch any of it. Also, we're both in the Bay Area and might even stay at the same properties, so it'd be a huge help.
