I feel your pain. I have a ROKU and cable. Plugged the ROKU into HDMI2 and couldn't get it to work. Nothing in the "manuals" suggested why. On a whim put the ROKU into HDMI1 and the cable into HDMI2. Problem solved. No idea why.

Join the Geek Squad at Best Buy, It will be the best $200.00 you ever spent. The Geeks will come out and hook up your TV. Any time you need help again you can have them come out for $50.00. You can have them come out without joining for $100.00 but I think joining was well worth the price and I use them a lot. I owned a company which I built from $400,000 into a company doing 10 million dollars a year in sales. I did not grow up with computers. I had a partner who was somewhat worthless that all he wanted to do was play with the computers. I handled everything else including running the day to day business. My partner retired 7 years before I did and then I hired IT people as I had 28 employees. I purchased canned software made specifically for the office products industry. I built an office supply store competing with Staples, Office Max, Office Depot and many other companies into a commercial business doing 10 million dollars a year in sales. Before buying the business I was sales manager for a wholesaler selling to office supply retailers in four states. I drove 40,000 miles a year and received a new company car of my choice, which was a perk every two to three years. Almost all of the retailers failed once staples opened up. I had an owner in Delaware commit suicide, many people I knew lost their homes, it was a tough time. I know what I an doing, have the Geek Squad come out,

Very good advice, I did this, and yes, had to watch the utube video for attaching my DVD to my model of Samsung, but, it worked !

Wow, $100 or $200 to connect a $50 DVD to watch some redbox movies sounds like a lot of $$ out of a monthly SS or pension but, maybe not for some. I'd find a utube to watch, also found retired man the department at WM where I bought my DVD player was really good at explaining how to connect it via the hdmi or something like that, sold me the correct cable and drew a diagram for me. Also, must be someone in your villa area, a neighbor, who can do a simple thing like plug this in for you without costing hundreds !

Why not just go help this person, probably would take you less than 10 minutes to help out, and save hundreds for him/her/them, while you make a new good friend and neighbor and use the skills you have, which is a lot more than most of us !
