Re: DVD compatibility
If you have Comcast, ring them up and they'll give you a set of cables if you have the HD package for free...they don't tend to mention if much but they do it.

Re: DVD compatibility
No worries.
It is a nice easy one as well. When I was back in the UK I had a DVD player that you had to type in about 50 digits in 1.2 seconds whilst standing on one leg and juggling 8 balls in the other hand. Took about an hour to get it to finally work.
This one says "Press 138931 and a menu will appear" and it just does. Simple.
I've been able to watch my UK DVD's thru PC to TV but it's nice to finally get an actual player. At only $39 (not $42 as advertised online) from a Walmart just down the road it was well worth the risk. If it didn't work then so-be-it...
The 1st DVD I tested it with was Tim Roth's 'Made In Britain'. UK82 by The Exploited has never sounded so good!
