My father just purchased a HDTV. HDTV service is being hooked up later in the week, but for now, I hooked up his normal satellite connection and normal DVD player.
I was in a store this morning and thought I would look at some of the other equipment. I came upon DVD players that said they are 1080p/i converter units. I understand the whole 1080 thing, but what's the 1080 DVD converter player? I notice they can be bought for about $100 while the DVD HD players are 3 times that.
He's not a tv or tech junkie, so does he need one of those? What will the 1080 converter player not do that the DVD HD player will?
I don't have a HDTV so speak slowly so I can follow you
Thanks!
