Sadly the family DVD/ tape player has died.

On line prices seem anywhere between £35 and £250. Current use viewing
purchased DVDs. Ignoring the tape player bit, what do I actually need?


Reading your other posts, just go for a cheap bluray player with a HDMI
output. If you buy one with just SCART and you change your TV in a
couple of years time you would also have to change the Bluray/DVD player
as well.

Forget about recording on a Bluray/DVD player box and don't bother too
much about the SMART features that it may be supplied with. These can be
provided for much better by dedicated boxes (see Toppy replacement
threads in their user forums) and/or plug in sticks (Netflix, Amazon
fire etc.)

As with a lot of boxes these days just make sure that you have provision
to connect it to your hone network for software updates.
