Sony dvd players are still available for £30/40 .So this could be an option for you. We had a new one last year. 😀 The popularity of DVD seem to rising again, from a very low base though.

I believe on the other hand blue ray players are likely to be very difficult to get hold of soon as the last company making blue ray disks has closed/stopped making them.

bribe the grandchildren for a "loan" of their PS5 or PS4 !

Morning all.
WoW, I slept heavy last night. Can't recall what time I went to bed but slept through till 07.30, didn't even wake for a James riddle. Can't remember the last time that happened.
Don't know if I have anything to do today.

Lazy day today.
My modified hedgehog feeders seem to have foiled the cat last night; he had an attempt at entry, but couldn't get in. Success!

I had that with my feeding station. I have a small WiFi security camera rigged up internally and coung see that one young black cat could just about inveigle his way in. I angled a housebrick and a large piece of stone which did the job. There was some good footage of the cats attempting to gain access, and on several occasions we had two hedgehogs sharing the feeding bowl. The camera has sound and it's surprising what noisy eaters they are ( I use Felix premium dry food, nothings too good for our visitors ) " crunch crunch crunch, scratch scratch "
The video is 2K resolution so easy to distinguish the individual hedgehogs.
