I am buy this for my mother cause she loves Netflix and our Xbox went out she has an older tv with the red white and yellow cable and isn't very good with this kind of stuff when I hook it up through the red white and yellow cable will it be easy to find netflix or will I have to install it and pay extra we have a subscription to netflix already but I was wondering if theres extra costs involved?

Yes. If your TV has RCA inputs (yellow, white, and red), you are set. If not, you still can:Buy an old working VCR (dirt cheap on Craigslist) that has RCA inputs and cable line output. Hook the Roku's RCA inputs into the VCR, run the cable from the VCR to the TV. Turn on the VCR and set it to whatever line in you are running the Roku into. NOTE: You may need to play an old VHS tape in it for a few seconds, turn the tape off, THEN press the input button to bring Roku up. One of my VCR's is goofy like this. But otherwise, no big deal.

You could run the red yellow and white from roku to an RF Modulator, then coaxial out from the RF modulator to a really old tv. Amazon sells the RF modulators.

Actually, you will need a Tv that has the 3 colored plugs: yellow, white and red! Won't work with black cable.

If your TV has RCA audio and video inputs (red, white and yellow), yes. But if your TV only has a coax input, Roku won't work.

The device, "take out" the HDMI audio signal and deliver it in 2.0 or 5.1, so yo can use older devices. So far it works perfectly for me. Good Luck

Just use a standard HDMI cable and connect the AppleTv to the receiver (choose one of the hdmi slots avaikable)

You can purchase an RCA HDMI converter swith to connect. Some go HDMI to RCA and some go RCA to HDMI. RCA is the red, white, and yellow cable. I have an RCA to HDMI switch to connect this to my very old zenith tv. Good luck

It only has a cable connection. So, to use on older TV's you will also need a interface connector between the two. I forget the real name.

your Setup box would need to have composite or HDMI ouput, this you just connect it to one of the inputs of the Receiver, if you still use the old type of analog cable were you receive only a coaxial connection you would need a TV or VCR or Cable turner to pass signal from coaxial to a composite output.

no you would still need a convertor to convert the analog vga signal to the hdmi digital signal, this cable cannot do it alone without a convertor or a very limited type of vga card that converts it for you

This unit only has HDMI out - not even SPDIF or optical. Regardless of what cable accessories are available at Radio Shack or anywhere else, you absolutely cannot connect it to anything but an HDMI TV or A/V receiver. Even a DVI/HDMI cable would be useless because you would have no audio. Sorry to say but as time goes on, you will find it very difficult to purchase components for older TVs anywhere except from second hand shops or garage sales.

The output on this device is HDMI, so if your TV is so old it doesn't have an HDMI input, you'll need a different device than this one. That's kind of the point of this particular device: to let old devices (games/etc.) connect to new TVs. Not the other way around (new device, old TV).

As far as I know, no such port exists on the TV itself. I would suggest that you run your digital Dolby 5.1 or other composite audio output to an external HI-FI, to which you have attached a sub-woofer.

If it is an analog tv (box style) you will still need a digital convertet. After I priced them, I bought a cheap flatscreen (cheapest I could find) because some converters were up to $50.

You can certainly try it out without doing so, but it wouldn't be a bad idea for the optimum performance with this TV and your peripheral devices. AmazonBasics has a two pack of the current ones for ten dollars - they support the latest formats. The Owner's Manual for this product says that HDMI Certified cables are what you need to use, thus if you're not sure those are the cables you have - might want to buy some newer ones.

I bought this TV for a second home. The Condo Unit comes with analog and digital cable. When I do the Channel Setup Scan ( both Analog and Digital), I only pick up the Analog. I was told that I need a convertor. I also bought a small Sony LCD, and when I did the Setup. it picked up both Analog and Digital and was able to view the HD Channels. Any suggestions??

u may be able to use the USB port to connect it your TV if your TV has the USB port (i don't).

Provided you have a HMDI,DVI,or lighting port on your computer, yes. You may need an adapter cable, but virtually any computer in the last couple decades will be able output a signal the TV will use.

If you have an analog tv you have to buy a converter box that enables you to get hd signals. If your tv does not have the cable connection on the tv, you cannot use this device. The only alternative is to get a satellite dish and receiver box from directv which allows your tv to pick up hd signals.

Can you connect this media port to a modern Blu-ray Home theater system? I am talking about the latest models.
