Leta has acquired, through various means, a DVD player and two TV sets. Both TVs are rather old, and along with other late-model features that they're missing (like the owner's manuals, TYVM Brett), they lack S-video or RCA input jacks—there's just a plain old coax cable input. Les had rigged up something that allowed her to connect the DVD player through a VCR, but we never could figure out how it was supposed to work. I found a company online (svideo.com) that sells a $30 kit that contains a RCA-to-coax modulator and connecting cables—much cheaper than an new TV. We hooked up that sucker and now Leta is watching swashbuckly action pictures with the big dogs.
