Need Advice for LCRs - Budget $500-$1000

Upgrading cartridge used or new?

The profiteers have struck Squeezebox Touch $750
Nwavesailer- Sorry if I was unclear. Medicare Part D (which is optional) only covers a very small part of the my Dad's medication expense; after about a month he goes into the "donut hole" and none of it is covered until he pays thousands out of p... 
S Video to HDMI
HDMI carries video and audio signals as digital data. S video and component video are analog formats. You would need some kind of device like a key digital or other video processor/scaler that has hdmi inputs and component video output.
