You can get cheap ones at most out of town retailers; I looked about 6 mths ago & noticed them for about £40.

A UK one will also be fine.

A British DVD player will work over here, but some TV don't, mainly the older ones.

If you do not own a DVD player yet much better to wait and buy one here. Plenty of excellent deals available.

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between DVDs? I`m thinking of buying them from Amazon & Ebay but sometimes they are described as (I think) band 1 and band 2 etc.(or something like that!) What does this mean & what do we use over here?

..sounds like the mating call of the (not so) lesser spotted "Boring uncle"!

Try this [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD#Region_codes]link[/url] that explains everything......suffice it to say we're R2 (oh, that's 'we' in the UK & Italian sense)

There are some special offers here at the moment in the "City Per's", dvd player for €29, they have an mp3 player for the same price, the best way to check whether your TV will work is to look at the back, if there is a "scart" socket, you can be reasonably certain the player will work. If you wish to multi region your machine (Normally involves entering a code via the handset) check on [url]www.dvdreviewer.co.uk[/url], under Info, multiregion hacks...
