    110% agreed. The good part is that she's dropping cable TV altogether so that's one less piece of the puzzle to put together. I did set up a Plex server on my PC a few months ago, works well with her Rokus. Oh, and did I mention that they're 1st generation Rokus to specifically avoid HDMI output? Yep, that's a thing too. :emoji_dizzy_face:
    I also took on YouTube->DVD through my PC a while back to reduce the headaches. :lol:

    lol I actually have my dad running his own plex server. .. although my parents are only ~10 years older then you. (My mom is clueless about tech though)

    I suppose if you need something dead simple for DVR a tivo would work

    *PC

    It is in the settings though you can change it to any audio file for any of the sounds.

    But HDMI is easier to deal with then component? I suppose the old TV prob doesn't have it though.

    On a side note.. I actually have a lifetime sub for both Plex AND Emby..... so I have switched between the two a few times.. Emby is open source and stuff so it is neat and the devs seem to give more of a shit but it is not as mature of a product yet.

    Bingo. Also, I don't think DVD+VCR combo boxes with HDMI exist, and getting rid of those would be a very tough battle to win lol. :emoji_sob:

    There is nothing better about DVDs and VHS... they are all kind of garbage compared to modern stuff... DVDs even more so with how compressed a lot of them are to be able to fit onto a DVD. Vinyl on the other hand actually is at least comparable to CD quality with a bit warmer of a sound sometimes.

    Make sure it actually supports what you want to do though.. It sounds like there is some weirdness with the audio only going one direction with this.. I think it said HDMI --> Component worked.. or perhaps the other way around.. but something along the lines of this is what you prob want.. (Just make sure it will actually work first)
