The TV only has the 75 ohm antenna cable input. The DVD player RCA
jacks or S Video. They make converters @ $50+ but I went to Goodwill
and bought a $5. VCR. RCA cables from DVD to VCR and 75ohm coax from
VCR to the TV. Works for me!

Don't ever watch an HDTV, you'll never want to go back. Seriously.

My old TV has to be connected to a VCR to get channels higher than 13.
I still have it, there is just a 50 plasma on top of it now.

I see them in the stores, nice. But I still will wait until my old TV
breaks.

If you dug around the junk box at goodwill you probably could have
found an RF modulator for a buck.

None there, they didn't even have any RCA jack cables.

My local thrift shop always has lots of converters for a few bucks.

They do have a beautiful picture, but my made in 1987 27" Magnavox is still
as sharp and clear as the day it was made. It blew a resistor a half dozen
years ago, which was a $1.00 fix, and the RF circuitry is busted, but the
RCA jacks on the back take the output from the cable box, and that's good
enough for me.

Besides, if I got a pretty looking TV I'd just spend more time watching the
damn thing.

The ~1990 Magnavox I just hooked up in the bedroom also looks like new
and "1990" new is new enough for me. Probably like you, I don't live my
life around my TV. I don't watch any certain program every day or week,
well maybe once a week if I remember it's on. I have an antenna and the
~25 channels I get are plenty for me. I couldn't imagine paying what
cable/satelite/... costs. I still remember when I did pay for cable
around 1983, there were no commercials. That was the biggest reason for
getting cable, no commercials! Now they charge 2 arms and a leg and it
has commercials! WTF? I do rent DVD's every week or three, I like
using "Red Box", it's very handy. $1 plus tax for a day and it doesn't
go up unless it's returned after 24 + hours, so far for me if I rent it
at about 5PM, it has to be returned by 9PM the next day. The Red Box is
1 mile from my house with 1 traffic light. I can order and hold a DVD
online and it emails me with all transactions including when I return
the DVD.

None here, maybe I'll let you get me one next time I need it?

And get this, the old Sony DVD,CD,Video CD player I hooked up has a real
on/off switch!!! If I leave the switch on it says it's on STANDBY, then
goes blank but the remote will take it out of standby. If I turn off
the power switch it's OFF! The remote will not turn it on!

Check out other shops. I have one nearby that carries lots of electronics.
Others, not so many.

Not too too old, only about 9 years old.
