So, Night Train and Potsy. Thenks for you help, and I have some more questions.
On my current video player, I can record one programme and watch another, provided one of those programmes is on Terrestrial tv. Is a dvd player not the same. There is a scart toggle wotsit that has been set up.
My current tv is widescreen but is about ten years old. Do I need to get a High Definition DVD player for when I update the tv in say five years' time. And what, in common parlance, is this Blue Ray apparatus?
My electronic gizmos tend to last a very long time. The video recorder is fifteen years old. I can remember that because its predecessor was the one item damaged when moving house. The tv is ten years old. The tv before that reached the age of about 23, when I won this tv as a raffle prize. I have a cheapo dvd player that I was given, but it is a pitb to operate.
I know I could ask this on the open forum, but then I tend to get so many people saying things in such a technie way, that I get confussed. We have an excellent independent shop in town for buying electronic items, but it helps if I know the basics before I ask the very helpful lady for guidance.
