This Day's Started Swimmingly

I think my DVD player's died. It was acting funny the other night when I watched UHF...it would catch every now and then, the image on the screen freezing, and then re-starting.

Now, it won't recognize anything I put into it. It just flashes up the "No DVD" message.

It's 3 and a half years old. Why can't we build things to last?
