Its not even on EBay

I got my copy of A Royal Family off Ebay Austraila which I can only watch on my code free DVD player.

The program is not available for our SoCal members specifically KCET (LA) and KOCE (OC) (our local PBS stations.)

Well, you can't get it at Majesty Magazine any more.

I'm not sure if it's on all PBS stations. I live in the NY area so I'm not sure if it's all over the US.

How disappointing I'd really been looking forward to seeing this. I guess all I can do is keep a look out for it to come on some other time, since I can't even buy it from Majesty anymore.

I wonder if there is a way to petition my local PBS station to show this! I'd love the book, but I really want to find the DVD or at least get to watch it.

What about a library? Would some local libraries have a DVD or VHS of A Royal Family. It was on my PBS network here in Tampa, Florida last year at this time that is when I saw it for the first time. However, it is currently running again on the PBS network here. It seems to run at different times here. So I would encourage all members that are in other parts of the U.S. to keep a close eye out for it.

The documentary was aired on Arte some months ago... I was lucky enough to watch it!

If anyone else is interested in purchasing this DVD, I found it on the ABC Australia website! It costs only about $35 in American money. I just ordered my copy today. It's a region 4, but I have a program on my computer that will play a DVD of any region.

Here's the link: A Royal Family - ABC Shop - The Home of Australian Content

Any ideas where I can get the Book or DVD for showing in the UK DVD region? I've tried lots of places but without any luck Thanks!

I was extremely lucky. Anna von Lowzow (i.e Anna Lerche) the producer of A Royal Family gave a presentation/lecture at the Royalty Weekend in Ticehurst in April and was willing to send the DVD's to anyone who expressed an interest. Obviously we paid for the DVD's.

The DVD's arrived about a week later.

I ordered the DVD from the ABC Shop. Does anyone know if it will be in English? It doesn't really matter if it is or isn't. I'm looking forward to seeing the vintage royal clips.

When it was aired on Danish TV, all the featured royals spoke English; I can't remember if there was an occasional lapse into Danish, but it was mainly in English

I bought the DVD several years ago from a Danish bookstore. The DVD is in PAL -three versions of the series were on the DVDS -- Danish, English and Norwegian.

A PAL DVD will not play on American or Canadian DVD players. North American uses the NTSC system. Most of the rest of the world uses PAL (France uses SECAM). The world is divided into different regions. US and Canada are Region 1. If you live in the US or Canada, your DVD player will be set for region one only. and NTSC. SO if you purchase a DVD from abroad, you will not be able to play it on your North American players. The systems are NOT compatible. However, you can purchase code free all region DVD players or recorders with built in PAL or NTSC converters. They are not expensive. I recently upgraded to a dvd recorder (but have yet to record anything) that is all region/code free with a built PAL converter. (I used to have a similar DVD player.) They are not expensive. I got both on ebay. You cannot get them in stores, such as Walmart, Target, Best Buy ... do not tamper with the ones you have ... you might be able to set it to O rather than 1 ... but you still will not be able to play a foreign dvd because American DVD players play on NTSC.

Tampering will also wreck your warranty.

Unfortunately, I received my DVD today and I was unable to play it on the two dvd players I have.

If you live in North America, and you got the DVD from Australia - you are not going to be able to view it -- Australia is region 4 and PAL. North America is Region 1 and NTSC.

Unless of course one has a MAC laptop. That's how I am able to view most of my non-Region 1 DVD's.
