    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

    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.

    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.

    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?

      Maybe you can with some kind of HDMI splitter, but it might be tricky if the TV's are in different rooms.
