Tomorrow, I will call the cable company and see what they can do, but for now, I feel like a real dunce. NEVER have I NOT been able to hook up a DVD player and watch movies.
Any suggestions?
Without looking at the thing(s) I’ll posit one guess. Does your TV have a ‘settings’ mode that you can access from either the front panel or the remote? Sometimes you have to go into the settings to ‘turn on’ certain aux inputs.
Of course, if you had it connected and it worked before you moved I have no idea what would have changed.
Byte blasters at 20 paces???
SRSLY, without pictures of:
The back of the DVD player
The back of the TV
The alien being on your roof
I can’t really be of much help.
You're probably connected, but you may not be selected.
It used to be that you had to switch to TV channel three to use games and videos, but nowadays you'll likely have to use the remote and press the "select", "source", or "input" buttons.
You might want to have your second device playing when you do this to let you know when it switches over, and to what "source".
