I bought a DVD (used) of the theater group Caramel Box on Amazon.

So, the DVD arrived today -- and I realized that I do not have a DVD player in my house.

To be precise, it "is" there, but I can't connect it because the TV I bought this year does not have a VCR interface.

More to the point, there are HDMI->AV converters, but I don't have the reverse direction (AV->DMI), and I know from experience that analog->digital conversion has poor image quality.

It's a hassle, but I think I'll have to rip it from the DVD and show it on my laptop.

This is the downside of Amazon Prime and NetFlix.
