Blu Ray Players

[NE5]

I'd like some general advice and recommendations for a Blu Ray player please.

Its not for me, but I don't want something cheap, and at the other end of the scale there is no need for it to be state of the art expensive, just something to play disks.

I also have 2 questions.

1. Is it compatible with a standard TV that already plays normal DVDs, and will there be a problem using this TV ?
2. Is such a lead supplied, and if not, what do I need.

Thanks, its just to play a blu ray disk, i didnt even know there was a new range of machines !

The TV is a 40 inch flatscreen, with no intention at all to get a new one, she hardly plays DVDs and the ones she has have been playable on an old basic DVD player.

Hope this helps in the meantime I will try and find the TV model bit its about 7 years old.

Thanks mate, that sounds about right, a decent machine and a considerable upgrade on her present one.

For me though.... its gave me further thoughts.

I have a panasonic DVD recorder which i bought about 15 years ago to digitise an entire home made collection of about 80 football videos.

Its still going strong, however i dont watch DVDs very much either, and still value the recoder capability occasionally to record a disk from TV.

As well as the DVD recorder (connected by Scart) to a freeview recorder (my main TV box) i have a firestick connected to the TV.

Can you connect a flash drive to a blu ray and watch the flash drive on TV ? And if I got a blu ray player myself, could I connect it to my TV without disconnecting the freeview recorder, DVD recorder or firestick ?
