Next question then, equally dumb, will I need some sort of special blu-ray
disc player to replace my dvd player? or will blu-ray play on existing most
dvd players?
Thing is see, my dvd player is knackered and I'm lookin' to buy a new one.
But I want to future-proof my purchase by making sure it'll work with HDTV
and whatever new format disc is needed for it. I know that I need one with
HDMI output but I'm unsure about the disc format capability needed.
