Hack for DV11 anyone?

Have purchased the Optoma DV11 in the United Kingdom (Region2 DVD's), does anyone have any knowledge of a ‘Hack’ to allow playing of either All Region DVD's or even just Region 1 DVD's as well as Region 2?
I am aware that there is a ‘Hack’ for the previous model the DV10 to allow it to play All Region, does anyone know if this will also work with the DV11 ?
I'm living in hopes
