Don't buy really inexpensive DVD players

So far, this year we bought 2 or 3 inexpensive DVD players like Sony or other and they didn't do something right like the last one wouldn't play sound for example. But, while I was traveling in my motor home I bought a Panasonic but paid about 130 dollars for a Panasonic and it works great when I installed it today.

So, I think it is really hit or miss when you buy DVD players in the 29 dollars to 75 to even 90 dollar range because most of them might not work right right away or soon after you purchase them. This was my experience of the last 2 or 3 years.

Also, I prefer to run Roku through a Roku puck because often when I try to use TIVO or a DVD player for netflix or amazon prime or other things it is an add on and becomes a real pain. It is often better when you have something dedicated to what you are trying to do as long as when the screen comes up you are allowed to search for what you want at Netflix, Amazon Prime or wherever you are going online with your TV to watch things.

For example, my older and younger daughter aren't at all interested in cable. The only program my younger daughter is watching with us this summer is "Game of Thrones". That's it.

I recently asked to watch the last Season of Mad Men with her wherever it is like Amazon Prime or whatever and she refused because she is attached to me seeing the whole series. It's true I have seen the first 3 seasons and kind of got bored because I actually lived as a child and young adult through that era. However, the last season is the late 60s where I was 12 to 21 so I find it much more interesting where the world changed a great deal from what it was in the 1950s where people (to me at least were pretty boring). However, if I'm realistic about the 50s most people were just in trauma and shock from World War II, nuclear weapons and the Cold War where everyone on earth might die any day. And we all knew it. But, as a child you might be scared one day and the next you just go have fun unlike many adults who were still very traumatized from World War II and the great depression.
