My dvd player is starting to have an issue with opening the tray if there's no disc in it (i.e it won't) so was going to buy a new dvd player.
All the dvd players seem to be blu-ray now and on the boxes in the shop have "wi-fi required" all over them.
Is it not possible just to get a blu-ray/dvd player that isn't connected to the internet anymore? The reason i ask is i go into hospital for lengthy periods of time and unplug all electrical equipment while i'm away; i want a player with good quality image from dvd played on an HD tv but not one that needs to be connected to the internet constantly.
Have i misunderstood what the wi-fi connection is required for? Also any advice as to what models to buy gratefully received. I feel out of the loop on this as my old player/recorder has lasted years.
