I've seen Bob Andersen and Buzz1151 do this without much trouble but I really don't know where to start with equipment etc.

There is a lot of stuff available for video sources. Besides a DVD player, I also have a HDMI to composite video convertor. I also watch YouTube videos on my set via a Roku1.

I received an email from Roku yesterday telling me the Roku 1 has reached end of life and will no longer be furnished with software updates. Well it is 10 years old....
