Help connecting DVD to flat screen withot HDMI

[nanacat]

Direct TV told me I had lost HDMI on my flat screen. No my DVD won't work in my TV. Is there a way to use my DVD with this TV without HDMI capability?

that makes no sense, "lost hdmi". How? Did the ports get up and run away.

There was a thunder storm that knocked out my TV. Tech support came out and said I had lost HDMI capability. When I press Input on the remote HDMI shows no signal so my TV stays on AV component all the time. Hence, I can't use my DVD on this TV. Make any sense???

yes makes more sense. not much you can do except either get a new tv or get a hdmi to analog convertor and use that.

Which is more cost effective? And as I am absolutely illiterate on this subject, do I go to a place such as Radio Shack or this convertor?

What TV and what DVD player? You should be able to use Component if you have it on both devices.

I have a two year old Insignia and an older panasonic DVD

And do they have Component Video?

That would be the next best thing with HDMI not working.
