My mother said she saw a DVD player that you could put a regular DVD into, hook it up to an HDTV, and it would play the DVD with a high-definition quality. Does such a thing exist?
Answer
Search for Up-converting DVD Players.

Notice that some up-convert to 1080i an others to 1080p.
1080i is interlaced, used on HDTV transmitting stations.
1080p is progressive, used in Blu-ray disks.
They do a very good job, but the end-result is not as good as those originally recorded at 1080i or 1080p.
By the way, you need HDMI on your TV, if you use Component it will not up-convert to 1080 i or p.

Purchased 2010 VIZIO HDTV ~ I use antenna only. Is there a DVD recorder on the market that can be hooked up to this TV so I can record shows?
Answer
All dvd recorders have a coax in and out to tv. So I would get one that is a brand name. If you want hd, you have to get an hd recorder.
Here's a site to check prices and reviews
