My friend got a smaller LCD television for Christmas. She isn't a wealthy individual, and isn't too much for spending a lot of money on technological consumer products. At this point she has a LCD TV, and older DVD/VCR player (RCA connections), and a basic Shaw cable box. She was also given a laptop recently that has an HDMI port on it.
I was hoping to find some kind of device that could be used to hook up all these items and then have one HDMI cord going up to her TV. Also, if I was to show her how to download .mkv/avi files she could watch movies if the device could decode that stuff from the laptop and send it to her TV so the audio and video would come out of her TV.
Any suggestions, and places in Canada or that will ship to Canada to buy it at?
