NSZ GT1 in the UK

I bought this box about six months ago in the States, while on holiday. I live in the UK and was told that as soon as it's released in the UK it would work fine. At the moment when I go through the set-up it doesn't give me the option to select my location, only offering U.S zipcodes.
Can anyone help me here? Do I have to flash a UK firmware, or something to that effect?
Thanks for any help,

I believe the NSZ-GP9 is the model they are introducing in the UK so I'm not sure you'll ever get UK firmware for the NSZ-GT1.

On another note, since you have the NSZ-GT1 in the UK, is it able to played UK region coded DVD/Blu-Ray movies, i.e. is it already Region Free? I was able to play a Non-region coded PAL DVD of home video, so it can play PAL video on U.S. TVs but was wondering if it was already region free.

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately no, it isn't region free. Yet another nail in its coffin, in my case. I was assured buy the guy in the store that it work work on its release in the UK. I won't be as trusting next time.
I'll have to hold out for a developer in a similar situation or just buy the UK version.
Thanks again.
