I was running into problems where DVD would play, but TV sound AND DVD sound was running together- then I’d shut off the cable, and DVD sound was fine, but I wouldl ose the cable sound when I turned TV back on

Yeah , that has to do with the TV and how it prioritizes signal inputs... lucky for you this stuffs cheap now , a flat 32” TV is under $200 , a modern DVD player (Sony) at Walmart is under $20 ,, and you can get wall mounts and HDMI cables super cheap at monoprice.com

I assume you mean a personal DVD player? like the small ones you carry around? I had thought about that- but we do still play tapes as well-

I guess it would need a couple of HDMI in ports? Or could I run everything into an HDMI expansion hub device? Saw oen at walmart not too expensive- Hooking up a coupel of devices via HDMI would allow each device it’s own sound priority? IE I wouldn’t have issues like the one I described where TV and DVD sound would both be playing at same time even htough I was on the DVD ‘channel’ (component 2 or whatever it was)?
