USLGOwner, I too am in the US and have an LG C1. I am also new to this and trying to learn exactly how to unlock something that is 100% capable of DVR. I am not able to see my TV right now but I do believe that you may need to change the area option under the "adjust check". This may be a different button in the service remote if i am not mistaken. I changed it to 1793. This then allowed me to change the toolOPT6 menu to the recommended 273861641. I believe this is where I got stumped and will have to come back too. I have no idea what the "adjust check / area option" does, if someone could shed some light on the subject that would be helpful. Thanks to all that contribute to this thread. Let me know what you get.

Well Stuff, I am in the US and trying to enable the DVR on a LG C1. I just get mad that so many of us have purchased a fully capable TV and its locked down for some reason or another. I have confirmed that US and Canada do not allow DVR recording. The Mexico version does. So my thought process was to use area codes from Mexico. Does anyone have those? From reading around and playing on my TV I am leaning toward thinking that 3 things need to change in order for us to enable DVR recording here in the US. 1. Area code. 2. Toolopt6 needs changed. 3. There was an option (sorry cant remember where it is) that was greyed out and "enable USB recording) I think if we can figure these 3 settings out we will be able to record live TV. So far I am been able to change the ToolOPT6 codes and nothing has worked. I did notice that as you change the setting within the ToolOPT setting the number above changed. There has got to be a service manual or reference out there that can explain these numbers in a more useable/ less likely to ruin your TV kind of way. If any one has any info please feel free to share it.
