Hi
I want to connect a DVD player to my tv via hdmi cable. Do I need to use an aerial as currently I get freeview through my talk talk box directly to the tv.
The back of my DVD player doesn't seem to have a socket for an aerial, it's all a bit confusing for me as you can tell I'm a novice .......and blonde!

Thanks Mike B. :) I did just that but when I source the DVD on the tv it comes up with HDMI 3 not supported.
I've tried the cable and the DVD player with another tv and it's fine. I dont have any problem with HDMI 2 which is my talk talk freeview box/recorder. I must be doing something wrong but I just don't know what.
Help please or my boyfriend is going to think I'm just incapable of doing anything on my own. He is macho man and pretty much thinks women should just stay home and cook!

Hi mike
Well first things first the tv is a Samsung plasma 51 and the DVD player is a sumvision. I can't access the other Hdmi ports as the tv is fixed to the wall and there's no way I can move it, so I'm stuck with using the only accessible port on the side of the tv, hence my dilemma......and it still can't get it up and running. Should I try using the red yellow rgb instead?
I really wanted the hdmi option as its better isn't it?
Thanks for all your help up to now.
Minnie
