Ahoy, Thanks for the video. I discovered this trick a while back. I have a small 7" composite screen from an auto DVD system that I've used quite often. With the converter I can hook-up anything to it. I also have other converters in my toolbox. I have an AV to HDMI I used with my VCR and old video games. It usually works fine. I have a VGA to HDMI I've used to add a 2nd monitpr with some computers. And I have an HDMI audio extracter. I have a monitor with no sound built=in so I used this extracter with my RPi 400 to add an audio jack for speaker output. You can never have enough converters especially at $10 or less for them on eBay. Cheers, daveyb
@@mc10guru Yes, these converters are very handy and fun to putter with.
My old SDTV was a 27" RCA Truflat flat-screen tube sdtv with Digital ATSC tuner. It had a widescreen mode, and a component video hookup, but was still 480i. It was a October 2008 model. I had a Sony smart bluray player w/wifi from 2011 (BDP-S780) that had component video on it, so hooked it to tv directly through component and watched smart apps that way. The tv only had 1 component video tho, so direct tv went to the s-video on it. I watched bluray movies in widescrem component mode on this tv. It was great.
Nice. I had a tube TV with component video. The picture was excellent.
I have a old tube tv in the old barn that doesn't even have a coaxial screw, it takes the old flat ribbon antenna cable.
For cable, didn't those things use an adapter that connected to the TV, via the 2 screws that the ribbon antenna used? They were Y-shaped and on the opposite side was a coaxial screw port, for the cable cord. I distinctly remember those, as a kid, in the early 80s.
@paulallen8495 yeah I probably have the adapter around here somewhere.
You can connect a transformer balun to the coaxial cable, like these.

I remember when big tube TVs used to be a high-theft item. Now you can't give them away for free.
@@stevejohnson1321 Usually the ad says ‘bring a friend to carry it out’.😆
Muito bom um adaptador pra cada situação. Like.
Pretty cool. How do you control what you are seeing on the TV? I'm assuming there is a remote of some kind to do it that comes with the equipment?
@@trainmaster0217 I was using the remote control from the Roku stick. I should have made that more clear.☺️
@@NorthcoasterHobby OK, thanks , that what I thought but I'm usually wrong 99% of the time.
@ 👍
cool. can i connect one roku device to 2 tvs. ? thanks
nooooooo
Maybe you can with some kind of HDMI splitter, but it might be tricky if the TV's are in different rooms.
How does that handle wide-screen content?
@@someguy999 It seems to all be 4:3 aspect ratio full-screen.
Do you know if it just cuts off the edges or squashes everything?
Bro what about the 4:3 aspect ratio 😭😭🙏🙏
@@genericguy5783 ☺️ yeah, it’s all 4:3 SD. ☺️
i have an hdmi connector from my apple to a older digital tv.
no
Apple TV?
tube tv can run youtube now :)
@@ItsFalcon_X It can, using this adapter.
I remember having my old sony monster tvs weighing 100lbs ea and needing the digital converter box.
This is a great idea NCH !! ✌️✌️🛰 📶
@@zandig666 It is a good idea, but I’m sure I’m not the first one to think of it.
