best buy dvd player vcr image
mazey1967
My daughters tv is an older one, and the only place to connect a dvd or vcr is odd shaped. It's round, but instead of having one tiny hole to put the cable into, it has a couple of small prongs inside the round part....if this is making any sense to anyone, or they know what I'm talking about...I need to know if there is an adapter or something that I can buy so I can hook up a dvd player, vcr, or cable to her tv.

I know exactly what you are talking about. When I install cable in someone's home and they have an older TV, I have run into this. You have to use what we call a 300 ohm to 75 ohm 'matching transformer'. I'll include a link to one below so you can see what I am talking about.
One side has 2 wires that you will screw onto the back of the TV. The two prongs that you see on there now are from an old transformer or antenna that broke off. Take those old prongs out first before screwing in the new ones.
The other side of the adapter is where you screw on your cable.
There is one other possibility that I have seen but is very rare. I'll do the best I can to explain it. Some old TVs used to have internal antennas. These TVs have a built-in connector to screw your cable onto but they also have something that looks like a long staple on the side of it. One side of the "staple" goes to the TV housing (to the internal antenna), and the other is pushed into the connector where the cable screws in. If this is your scenario, then just pull the prongs out of the round part (the other side remains attached), then you will see a small hole where it pushes back into the TV housing for storage. After removing the prongs from the round connector, you should be able to screw in your standard cable as normal.

What's the best way to simplify a VCR/TV/DVD player/Cable setup?
Onlooker
My 80 year old mom currently has a tv, a DVD player, a VCR, and a Comcast cable box. She uses the VCR to tape one program (East Enders) after she goes to bed. Everything is of different brands. The tv is pretty good, but the DVD player and VCR are low end.
Her current setup requires her to use 3 remote controls, so it's a bit of a mess. What's an affordable way to simplify her setup so she has ideally only one remote control? Thank you.
Answer
Buy a universal remote you may need to set up remote for her.
