Will this work with a very old TV? I am wanting to get this for use with an older TV. I have an Coaxial to A/V set-up will it work?

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).

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

I have an old analog tv and it's a screw on coaxial. However, this machine lasted me about 2 days and then died. Invest in the Leaf Antenna (made in the U.S.A.) and any other converter box. If I had just spent the money to begin with for a good flat antenna I wouldn't have had to purchase 3 of these converter boxes and all kinds of different antennas. Just a suggestion. If you choose to purchase this item, I hope you have better luck with it than I did.

Apologies. Your question is more technical than I can answer. I just hooked the thing up and it worked (well). I run nothing more on the coax in my house than the antenna signal. I should add add that the signal strength has degraded somewhat (fewer channels) since I installed the amplifier in January, but the decrease in performance could be attributable to something other than the amp. Will investigate before winter.

If you have only one tv this should work fine. If you have more consider a 4 port amp such as the PCT-MA1015-4PN or equivalent. The 4 port model took my tv's from unwatchable to near perfect picture.

Yes, it worked great, I have an 82in Mitsubishi TV with a Coaxial and my Sony home theather system have an Optical input. This product worked GREAT, before I found this product I tried everything to connect the two and I keep coming up with an analog signal. This is the only product I could find that would work and give me the Digital signal that I needed for the surround sound amp. I hope one day the TV world and the Surround sound world would get on the same page, but most TVs come with Coaxial out and the new Surround Amps require and Optical input. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT!!!

I'm not sure as I had it connected to a very old 60" TV. It should as it has an HDMI connection. Now it's connected to a 19" HDTV from Walmart. If it works with a tv without an HDMI connection it should work on any tv with an HDMI connection. Thanks and good luck!

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.

It should work for old type analog TV's since the info says VHF channels 2-13 and UHF channels 14-69. That's what all TV's were designed for as long as you used the tuner built in to the TV. The info is listed as: *Amplified indoor HDTV antenna engineered to receive VHF channels 2-13 and UHF channels 14-69 *Optimized to receive all HDTV channels for free local high-definition entertainment with a compatible TV or TV/receiver *Boost weak signals-dual-drive amplifier ensures clear reception of both distant and close HDTV and DTV stations *High-gain antenna array can be oriented horizontally or vertically for optimum reception *Appealing design with small footprint; easy to install-supplied cable carries video and power

This antenna actually connects through a coaxial port. I have an HDTV and connected this antenna to the coaxial port on my TV I did not use an adapter. You won't need an adapter either it will connect to old model TVs and HDTVs. I should tell you also that this antenna doesn't provide you with the channels that it should. The reception may depend on where you live but I would advise buying it used versus new.

This unit will connect with component (the one with the red, white, and yellow plugs) or HDMI. If you have an older TV set that only has a coaxial connection, you can get an adapter plug very inexpensively at a shop such as Radio Shack. Just tell the serviceperson what you need.

I am not using mine for that (mine is hooked up to a tv and satellite), but I would not see why it wouldn't work. The coaxial is also protected. They are excellent and give you peace of mind over your electronics. Hope this helped!

Yes it wil work as long as the tv has rca jacks( red,white& yellow). If it's an older tv you can use a vcr to connect to the tv. Connect the video sender to the vcr then connect vcr to the tv. That's how I have it in my garage,with an older tv with no rca jacks.

I use mine with a converter box. Some of the reviews say this cannot be used by direct plug in to a regular older TV, that you must have an HDTV or a converter box for use. I sure hope this helps you. :)

Yeah it should work it worked with my 17 years old denon I use to have and my new tv, it comes with an optical cable. The only thing you need is the analog cables.

Yes. This is perfect for older TV's. Just not what you need for the newer digital sets. Even if you bought something for the newer sets you won't get a better picture than this will give you. I am using it on my analog TV and have been very pleased with it. If that is what you have I highly recommend this product.

This is the way I am using it: I have a Sony TV with its coax out, and putting it in for the receiver optical audio IN, so it seems like it should work for you! Don't forget it requires a power source continually to run.However, if it doesn't work, Amazon is historically good with refunds.
