Is it worth repairing DVD portable player?

la_nena_co

I have a portable DVD player the read bad disk. I used different kinds of dvd and still the same problem. My question is it worth repairing or just get a new one? Or where is a place that doesn't charge as much?

Answer
Considering portable players are selling well under $100 now, I would think the old one is probably not worth repairing.

DVD player with coaxial (cable) input and HDMI out?

rdrunner19

I'm looking for a DVD player that will accept a coaxial input, and will recognize channels and allow me to watch tv and flip between channels through the player. It also needs to have either a HDMI, DVI-D, or VGA output so I can watch TV on my computer monitor. Any suggestions? I cant seem to find one. As cheap as possible too, under $100 preferably.
Not quite sure why old VCRs had this feature and DVD players do not. I don't need HD, my school still has analog cable.

You would need a DVD recorder with built in tuner and HD up conversion. See first link for example.

But for a little more money ($200) you can buy a DVR/DVD recorder with built in tuner and up conversion. See second link.

>under $100 preferably.

Not new you won't.

Tuners are only built into (some) recording devices. They were never built into VCPs (Video Cassette Players) or DVD players.

VCR = Video Cassette Recorder
