This is not only a problem with "old" televisions but also with TV/VCR
combinations. We bought my husband a DVD player this Christmas because
he wanted The Gladiator (available to the public only in DVD although
rental stores could buy it in VHS for $119). I discovered that my year
old TV/VCR combo didn't have the required input jacks. I had had a
similar problem at school with a VGA converter for a large screen TV
with an S video connection.

So I too went to trusty Radio Shack for the RF converter box at $30. It
was easy to hook up and he can now watch DVDs. I must say that I am not
that impressed with them but I remember the feeling I had back in the
70s when all new stereos had to have a cassette tape player.

Still trying to keep up,
Jo
