Ohh it was trilulilu!!

TridentTrue- I'd think you've gotta see it first. The production is filmed there and made for Australians.
USA, we only get police & doctor shows.

Exactly, wasn't it just a year or so ago when they finally let the USA see H2O for the first time on tv. I couldn't even find it on American DVD online. They had it in UK DVD but you can't play those on American DVD players

No they have a different format or read differently than American players do. There was a disclaimer on amazon that warned people of that. Then I researched it and sure enough if you put a UK DVD in an American player nothing will happen. The American player will think the disc is blank. I know it sucks! Just like UK electrical outlets look different than USA outlets so there goes buying a UK DVD player. We pretty much are screwed lol. I remember seeing H2O for the first time in the Bahamas a year or so before they finally let the USA play it on tv. Only saw like 4 episodes though. I was so excited when they finally played it on American tv and I got to see 2 seasons. If there's a 3rd season we haven't see it here yet :/ and none of the mako shows have been played on American tv yet. Thank god for Internet! Lol

They call it a region code. Older players were told by the factory what region they are for, generally now when you put in your first DVD it becomes what ever the DVD was.
The movies the same, just a note on the DVD tells the player what area it's for. It allows the companies to sell DVDs for different prices in different countries and also to prevent DVDs from being seen in places they don't want them seen.

Hey SeaVixen,

Yes, for the longest time the DVDs for H2O were only available in the Australian region code (region 4) and they wouldn't play in conventional DVD players either in North America or Europe.

They would play in my computer's DVD drive though, after I installed a piece of software that got the computer drive to ignore region codes. They actually looked very nice on my computer's monitor too- I think it has a higher quality image than a TV.

What you should know, though, is there are DVD players that will ignore those pesky "region codes" and play DVDs from anywhere.

Here are some examples http://buyersguide.bargainoffers.com...vd_guide.shtml

You can buy them over the internet, many are on sale on Ebay.

Some are actually sold on Amazon too.

There are some models that you can set up to play all regions just using secret remote codes too. Here's what one author said: "I bought a Phillips DVD player (DVP642) for $40 from BestBuy a few years ago, unlocked it in 10 seconds and watched a bunch of British comedy the same day" after getting the information from VideoHelp.com

VLC Player plays all regions in a computer's DVD player. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

Also, as for DVD players can be changed to play all regions, I looked for the code online (which is input via the player's remote) and changed my DVD player so that it would play DVDs I got from England, though the player was meant to play only US region DVDs. That one you try at your own risk, though.

**JaceAquarius** · 10-23-2014, 12:43 PM

Actually you can get the complete series of H2o Just Add Water (season 1 - 3) for USA dvd players (Region 1) on amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/H2O-Just-Add-W...9U8/ref=sr_1_8

I have it coming this Friday! It's only the individual seasons sold on Amazon that don't work on US dvd players.

Jonathan Shiff has a Twitter feed you can follow. He sometimes posts helpful info about the production and airing schedules.

https://twitter.com/ufojmsp

He did confirm that season 3 is a go for Mako Mermaids.

Also, he had said that season 2 would premiere in Dec, 2014, but according to IMDB it's been pushed back to January 2015.
