It's a piece of junk and not worth a mention honestly. Disappointed with it. Video is jumpy, and no it does no cropping. It changed 1080p image into 480i. If I find anything worth buying, I'll let you know.

I still looking for a digital SD/Flash card player to play 100s of movies and TV shows on my old sets.

You can use a cheap dvd player with usb drive capability and use a flash drive. Works ok with 480 i/p videos. But it is limited in that it only supports max divx - no mkv, h264 or h265. I think there are some blu-ray players that do the same thing except add h264 support, etc.

In the room I keep most of my TV collection in, I use a B-T agile modulator wired in to most of the sets (Hard wiring them is the only way I can get a clear picture with no interference of any kind).
|
What agile modulator model number do you use? I'm looking at them. It would be nice to add channels back to my television with a multi rf-modulator, etc. Having different channels for different inputs on one coax cable sounds nice and convenient.

I personally use VHS (I have 3 working players, and one more waiting for repair)

That might actually be the way to go. Digital is great and convenient - but analog recordings probably would last longer, although with some degradation of picture over time. I've got a JVC S-vhs deck, and a few Panasonic decks.

RF modulator wise I have one that I KNOW I can keep alive since it consists of 2 tubes (3 with my audio add on)....Hell that thing will survive an EMP (I'll have to swap some diodes for tubes) and I'll have nothing to send over it since all my video sources are SS.
|
That is awesome. Could you give me the make and model - or at least a picture of your tube based rf modulator? I'd love to take a look at that!

My PC runs a PLEX server to categorize and serve my movie and tv show collection. For hookup to my analog TVs I use a Tivo mini.
|
That is a good idea and I think I'm going to try that. My HDMI converter isn't working on the level I need it to - so this seems like a viable option.
I do like my vhs tapes. However for right now I think I'll try the Tivo mini and plex server idea, for the convenience. I also want to try the agile modulator option too. I love the idea of adding "channels" back to my tv from different external inputs (vhs, dvd, dtv converter, etc). I want to thank everyone who replied. It gave me some good ideas of things to try.
