Im the maniac who picks up your tube tv when you leave it outside so I have a bunch of CRT TV's (99 Sony,98 JVC,and a 2001 Insignia)running Roku sticks through converters. Love playing 80s commercials on them in the background.. Long live Old School!
Those tube TVs look better when you are watching old school television. Thanks for keeping them alive and thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewindmy family member has a old tv from the 80s would this work on any 80s tv😊
@@mikesilva3868 Yes, this will work on any TV.
Thanks for watching.
Loved you're video! You spoke slowly which we seniors can appreciate. Just well explained. It expands our possibilities. People who can't afford hd tv's can still get a Fire stick and tune into the internet. So don't throw away those old tv's folks.
Thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate it and thanks for watching.
I didn't think it would work but it was very impressive. All those older TV's that were thrown out for newer ones could have been saved, (if they were still functioning) amazing!
You do need good eyesight, though, as these old TVs are generally not large, and the menus end up being quite small. Thanks for watching.
Great Video. You speak slowly and clearly and explained everything so well. Thank You.
Thank you so much for your kind words. My goal is to help people and it's nice to hear positive feedback. Thanks for watching. 😃
This is exactly how I get TV these days in my studio, which is limited to a max of 28". I simply hook up my 4K TV set-top box via HDMI to a spare 4K 28" monitor. Sound is better if I use a cheap soundbar, but that's it.
So many people put their old TVs on the curb when they still are perfectly fine. I, of course, kept every one of mine. 🤣
Thanks for watching.
Great Video!!! You did a really good job of keeping us engaged and explained how to do certain things in easy, plain language. We're going to try this on one of our old TVs. You should start sharing with your family and ex-family. You know how tech-savvy my family is. 🤣 Thanks!
Thanks for the comment. Feel free to forward any links to friends and family. Those old TV don’t need to stay in the closet. Thanks for watching.
The camera you have as your channel photo reminds me of the Panasonic VHS videocamera my dad bought in 1983. I think he still has it in his house. You used to have to carry the heavy VCR recorder with a shoulder strap. I also like how you really take the time to explain things.
Do you know of an option to connect my Dumb TV (~2006 with an HDMI port) with a wired connection? I currently stream Netflix,
prime and YT off my Windows laptop via the HDMI cord, but my brother recommends I get Roku. I only have internet and not cable.
Thanks again for the enjoyable video.
The camera in my channel photo is a full size Sony Betacam. They were popular through the 90s. I also had a full sized VHS that I bought in 1982 similar to what your dad bought. I still have 2 of them in my attic but the heavy VCR recorder stopped working decades ago. I keep searching for a working model but they are difficult to find.
If you have an HDMI port you should be able to plug the roku directly
Into it. I have several videos where I connect a roku. There are tons of free stuff along with Netflix, prime and YT with no extra monthly fee on top of what you are already paying. No reason not to get one.
Thanks for watching. 😃
I have a 37 inch HD Toshiba television from 2008 (16 years old) that still works perfectly but has no smart tv ability. I used to use the Sony blu ray player but the smart tv features were limited. A few months ago I purchaed a Roku Express set up from Walgreens for $27 and it really gives me a lot of channels and features. I can also use it to mirror which allows me to use my tv for reading ebooks. The lowest quality picture is 1080p which is better than what broadcast tv offers. It also has 4k.
OMG... and to think I tossed out a few perfectly good JVC, SHARP and SONY CRT TVs before I knew this was possible... all were from the 80s and 90s and had beautiful picture and sound. I'm so mad now, they could have been used in a spare room or garage or for that matter donated. Errr!
Well at least your house isn't full up to the gills with old electronics 😀 my problem is what do I do with all these old CRT TVs? Lol. Thanks for watching.
I found a 34 inch Toshiba at the dump a few weeks ago and it works fine. People really are just throwing them away.... I'm glad I found out about this.
@who cares as long as you are physicslly fit and can lift it those are great TVs 😃 Thanks for watching.
Tossed out or taken to the recycling? If tossed out, doubly sad.
I came across a Panasonic plasma tv when I moved into my apt about 2 years ago. Great picture but let me tell you it weighs a ton! Like many of the older console tvs
Interesting. Now we need a method to move “dumb” programming to something worth viewing.
Lol, I don't have a solution for dumb programming. Thanks for watching.
This is pretty neat! Thanks for showing.
You're welcome. I surprised myself with this one. Didn't know I could turn a nearly 50 year old TV into a smart TV. Thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewind ❤AWESOMENESS 16:29
You can also plug a lot of these internet devices fire stick etc.into a power brick into a portable tv and watch internet tv content on the road or camping out.
Yes I have a video coming up on portable TVs and these devices work just fine on them. But the menus are kind of hard to read on a one inch TV.😃 Thanks for watching.
The pitfalls of overscan when TV meets VGA/HDMI. I use a full size PC to provide video. It is capable of VGA, dvi(HDMI), svideo, and composite. Back in the day I would play Diablo 2 on rear projection TV's. I still have a 60 inch. Since I am a gamer also. I still like the look of CRT over LCD when game text isn't in microscopic definition. Modern tech isn't always a good thing in my view. Today I watched some DVD's on one of my Socket 7 W98se machines with spdif pass through. I do it because it is nice to see what it takes to accomplish that task, and use the software to play them. I like to use Powerdvd, or MPC-HC with AC3filter when needed. I am all for reminding people to find renewed value in items/ technology that was displaced by manufacturer greed and fads.
Trying to read text on an analog TV has always been a problem. Back when I connected my computer to my TV 80 column a text was a big deal. It was mostly illegible but that was all we had. But I agree standard definition video looks far better on an analog TV. Thanks for watching.
also works on my ancient 1960's Philco Predicta... and my Zenith Space Command sets. in glorious Black and White !!!
Yes it will work on anything. Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! That was so informative. I felt dumber than my tv & now feel "smarter"....awesome job!
👋👋👋
You are so welcome, and thankayou for watching
Sets that have, perhaps, a tuner problem can often be re-purposed in this manner. It's worth a try...
Yes, if they have video inputs of any kind, you are good to go. Thanks for watching.

Hi. I want to connect firestick to old portable black and white from early 80’s where did you buy devices to connect your fire stick to your 47 year old tv? Thanks
@@AshleyCollins-t7z
I have a parts list with links in the description for each of my examples.
Thanks for watching.
Great video great job! Saving your video for when I need it. New subscriber too! Thank U
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I'm glad it was helpful to you and thanks for watching.
I have a dumb tv with HDMI Jack. When I plug in a fire stick in it, everything works but no sound on tv speakers. Double checked everything and restarted and rebooted everything. Programmed remote numerous time with no luck. It’s a nice tv with low hours. It works good on RF input, cable box work fine on HDMI input. Fire stick and remote have been updating for two days. If you can think of something to try I’m listening.
Only thing I can think of is that your dumb TV has a non-standard HDMI jack. I would get an AV to HDMI converter and use that instead and see if it works. If it does, a little more cumbersome but it would get the job done.
Thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewindI'm not an electrician or engineer but is there a non standard HDMI port? Sounds weird to say since the HDMI tech was meant to combine audio and video
@davepirtle9790 The HDMI spec has changed over the years but as far as I know every version has audio.
This is pretty cool, but what about a TV that only has a 300 ohm ⅛" input? Such as my GE 7-7150 fron 1986 for example. No composite nor RCA inputs.
There are 1/8 to 75 ohm adapters. Many portable tvs use those. Thanks for watching.

Man the resolution is so good :))
I have had a number of Hdmi to RCA adapters. Most are clones and don’t last very long. Another which I bought was HDMI to Scart which looked a better quality but 😢🎉only lasted a couple of weeks. I bought a bundle of used, untested gear (some of which worked) but the Hdmi to RCA didn’t. I left them connected to the power supply when I wasn’t using it so it may have lasted longer if I had disconnected it every times finished using it.
Interesting data point. I shall disconnect my adapters when not using them. Thanks for the comments.
Good video. I have a Sony blue-ray player which worked fine witm Comcast but I'm dropping Comcast for Verizon home internet. I tried connecting the player to my Verizon wifi but the Sony wanted a WEP which I don't know where to find that. Any suggestions? I did connect a few years old Roku successfully but the Roku is unbelievably slow. Thank you.
WEP was a wireless encryption standard from 1997 and was retired in 2004. Today it is considered obsolete so the new Verizon router probably will not support it. You can probably connect it with an ethernet cable or maybe plug in a new wireless adapter to the blu-ray player. Or maybe buy an old wireless router and plug into your verizon router.
Thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewind Thanks for the reply. Maybe time for a new blue-ray player.
That's awesome thank you! Low on $. Certainly have a medley of old tv's.
And the beauty of streaming devices is no monthly charge.
Thanks for watching.
Amazing man I'm rolling that's success!
Thank You so much and thank for watching.
Thank you! That was very helpful!
Question, is it more affordable to get a Roku to connect with internet vs the Sony UBP -700 one? I think I looked it up on amazon and it is over 200 dollars. (My dummy101 question...thanks) What I want to do is connect my tv so it had access to UA-cam, Netflix and etc. My tv has the HDMI feature as the tv was bought sometime around 2010.
The Roku is considerably more affordable, from a cost standpoint. The 4K Blu-ray player is not cheap. But if I was getting a 4k blu-ray player anyway I figured it was worth getting one with streaming built-in. Older TVs tend to only have one HDMI port so it’s better to have an all in one solution. Thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewind Oh for sure...thanks for explaining. You wanted that anyway, and you might as well include this for this video. So I could get a roku then. Yet I will have to look into how the Sony has the all in one solution! Thanks...
Back around 2007 I wanted to get my computer to play through my 32 inch wide screen Sony CRT using a VGA to component adapter. I got it to work, but the interference was bothersome and the flicker issue. However in a sense I was dumb back then, I already had computers with S video out and this TV had S-video, but I guess I was thinking component to be HD resolution. PS: is your recording device has a S-video connection and your computer a Video card with a working S-video out, you can record anything from your computer, just be aware the S-video may lower your resolution on your main computer screen during this process and decide also how you want your video, wide or not wide screen, and make those adjustment in the computer resolution settings, and your recording device.
Thanks for sharing. I haven't used a desktop computer with an S-video card in over a decade so that option is not possible for me.
@@WaybackRewind ATI/Dell made several with PCI express connection, and DVI, or VGA or both and also S-video, some time with that other weird adapter splitter. However having Windows 10 or 11 or AMD have the proper drivers I don't know, yet. My last one was on a Windows 7 machine and it worked well. Have not tried it on anything newer.
What I meant to say is I haven't used a desktop computer in over a decade, so I can't use cards of any kind. Thought about building one just for video work, but I have gotten spoiled being able to work on my kitchen table with the laptop.
@@WaybackRewind There are also TV tuners on the market that are just USB that will work with any computer that can use their software. Some can also use a composite input for outside input. That TV for the computer has kind of faded with the newer smart phones, and other on line available of movies and other video content, as well most broadcast stations have on line feeds for their shows live or free a week later. NBC, ABC, FOX
@tableseven Yes the internet has killed the need for the portable TV in general. I have an upcoming video about that. Thanks for watching.
I am looking for advice on how to connect my dumb tv to my WiFi (I guess like a monitor without a computer) so I can share UA-cam and a few other apps on my phone with my tv. I can’t afford to pay for a streaming service at this time. I am out of work with empty pockets and trying to cut as many expenses as I can until funds are available again. No one seems to want to hire older people these days. Yes it’s age discrimination but prove it. They’ll just claim the other person is more qualified.
My TV has 3 HDMI ports my router only has an old USB port or Ethernet port available.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ☺️
Actually what you want to do is very easy.
You can buy a streaming device and once purchased it's completely free to use (as long as you avoid pay-per view purchases). There are hundreds, if not thousands of free channels you can stream 100% free. I prefer the Amazon firestick, but I also have a Roku and a Google Chromcast. Any of them will get you the access to hundreds of free channels as long as you have wifi. Goto Method #3 in the description and everything you need is listed. If you run into any problems, let me know and I'll help.
Thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewind Thank you so much. I was worried if I purchased one of the items you listed I would have to pay a fee.
Thanks. 8:31 PM
Way back in 2016 I linked a Google Chromecast to my 2009 dual standard 625 line compatible ATV/1080 pixel HD Toshiba 32 inch LCD TV to view photo's taken on my mobile & to watch You Tube video's on HDMI3. HDMI1 been a HD Video Recorder & HDMI2 a DVD player.
Back to the present 2023 the set up remains the same, apart from what's now linked to the old Google. A fairly modern A13 Samsung 64GB smart phone Wi-Fi linked complete with your (UK) Iplayer Video on demand apps ITVX, All4, Prime Video etc as well good old You Tube of course!
Guess if you got a suitable scart to HDMI conversion allied to a HDMI based Google Chromecast or similar
you could do much the same for a CRT with a Scart Socket?
I barely know what a scart is since it wasn't used much, if at all, in the US, but I've found that any connector difficulty can be overcome. You reminded me I have a chromecast in my junk drawer I probably could use for something. Thanks for watching.
That was fascinating!
So, let me get this straight. As long as my Bravia TV has a HDMI port, all I have to do is go buy a streaming device (Roku for example), connect it to the HDMI port, and I'll be streaming? What steps, if any, am I missing??
Yes, precisely it's that simple. Thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewind BEAUTIFUL, and THANKS!

I don't know what clock you mean? Thanks for watching though.
@@WaybackRewind The One On The Home Screen Of Your Cable Company's Free Streaming Box
Thanks for clarifying, but how do you know it's incorrect? If you mean because it's showing 24 hr time, I intentionally set all my clocks to 24 time if they are able to.
@@WaybackRewind Ahh Well That I Didn’t Know Was Only Trying To Be Helpful Though ☺️
@Heather thanks. Since I joined the military, it makes it easier to keep my brain trained to use 24 hour time. Another thing the rest of the world uses except the USA.😄 thanks.
would this work on a tv from the 1950's or 60's?
Yes, this will work on any TV. Even one from the 1950s or 60s. Thanks.

I have a smart jvc tv, but had to upgrade to smart 4g hub for wi-fi. Wi-fi connected via ethernet cable to tv. If look at tv, it says its connected, but if request built in google or youtube or freeplay, flashes up NO INTERNET ACCESS. Where am i going wrong?Still cannot connect to any streaming services.
I bought hdmi wifi adapter for mirroring my phone with non smart tv and it is not working :( and I don't know why :( Do you maybe know id every tv has to by conneccted to antwna or satellite or some signal? I thought it will be working as monitor and I dont need signal.
I'm not exactly sure what device you are using, but a non-smart TV has to be connected with a signal it can understand. If you are lucky, it has an HDMI and its relatively simple, just plug it in. If all the tv has is an antenna you need that modulator and hdmi to video converter. Let me know exactly what device you are using maybe I can be more help.
Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching😄
I don't think the video adapters will keep you from watching any type of media because of "copy protection"
Yes. Evidently not.

Great 😊
Can I hook up a PS4 to my dumb Insignia tv to make it smart? (Since I already have one just sitting due to PS5 taking its gaming place with kids). Thx
Yes you can. All you need is the HDMI adapter as shown here. Absolutely any TV can be made smart. Thanks for watching.
So it goes to the TV or to the farm player thing
I don't understand the question. Can you please explain?
@WaybackRewind Yeah The Fire Edition TV I Have It Took Time At First To Get It Going
Thanks for sharing.
What about something like a portable antenna TV?
Great question, I am working on a video for portable antenna TV, coming soon.
@@WaybackRewind Well thanks!
How can I make a local transmitter so I can make my old pocket LCD tv's work around the house?
That is an excellent question. I must confess at some point in my life that I connected an RF modulator to a very large antenna to see if I could broadcast a signal locally. Aside from the illegalities of broadcasting without a license, it requires far more power than is available in those units. An RF amplifier amps up the illegality (pun intended). So I don't think it's possible although it would be very convenient. Thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewind ok, I've tried those ideas, just using rabbit ears for the transmitting antenna , but the TV s only worked very near the antenna.
Clever stuff
Thank you for watching.
Do I have to pay for Internet TV service to use the streaming devices?
No. For the basic tier on all these services there is plenty of free things as long as you have an internet connection. Literally hundreds of channels. Beyond that you can pay extra for access to more things like movies and original programming.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
No problem. Thanks for taking time to watch.
I get tons of free electronics. Connected a monitor to one of those media boxes and watched TV.
Av leads to hdmi converter about $13.99 on Amazon. Plug anything into the hdmi end. Not much else to it if you want to make a CRT display the contents of a streaming stick.
Yes that is exactly what I used and it works quite well, better than expected. Thanks for watching.
Does this converter works if the tv only has usb-a and av port, and I have an hdmi android tv stick or do I need another some type of equipment? Am not really knowledgeable at this.
@TestAccount-fu4ls Yes this method will work on any tv, what exactly you need depends on the TV. For an AV input you just need the HDMI to AV converter. I'll add a parts list to make it easier.
Thanks for watching
@@WaybackRewind thank you so much
Parts list added. If you need additional help just let me know. Thanks
Hi, can I use a cat5e LAN with a adaptor to hdmi from my modem my tv don’t have a LAN inlet only hdmi
if your TV has an HDMI Inlet you can use any of the methods shown here. The internet is used for the smart device, you don't need to connect the internet to the TV unless you had a smart TV already. If that's confusing I can explain further.
Thanks for watching.
sorry to say but nothing special here. the wifi dvd players came with apps that were designed to plug in to HDMI ports from the beginning - it is all in the user manuals from 10 + years ago. However, the functionality also depends on the apps being updated and what kind of apps are available. As for changing HDMI into RCA composite video and audio - do not expect great video. The older TVs need to have interlace video with a limit of about ~240+ lines of vertical resolution (if the convergence is really good) based on the NTSC standard in the US and Canada and a little higher in PAL/SECAM systems.
Thanks for the engagement. You would be surprised what seems obvious and simple to you and me might be rocket science to other people. Of course being a rocket scientist myself I try to make it as easy to follow as possible.
I probably should have mentioned, but is obvious to you and me, that converting HDMI into RCA does not in anyway improve the image. It just makes it possible to see the image on the screen. The menus are difficult to read, but the video itself is watchable. Thanks for watching.
2010 TVs here in Europe had even crazier inputs like scart!
Yes I don't think i have ever seen a scart connector before. We had other crazy inputs in-between RCA and HDMI but they can be safely ignored today. Thanks for watching.
Do they make HDMI that has disabled copy protection?
Probably can not have HDMI with copy protection intentionally disabled and certainly not in high definition. But if you connect the dots you will realize that I am feeding standard definition video into the TV which is not copy protected in any way. So if all you want is a standard definition copy for your own personal use that is possible. Copying the HD signal is heavily frowned upon. Thanks for watching.
@@WaybackRewind standard is fine. Your welcome.
Your old tv have a USB? It may power up your fire stick. Mine is a much cleaner install that way
Yes that is correct. I didn't use the TVs USB in this video because I assumed most older TVs won't have that. But yes, you can tap into the TVs USB power if it has that. I show that in the follow up video for making portable TVs into smart TVs. Thanks for watching.
You should also show us how to fix Your CRT TV from overscaling. 🙄
I’m lucky mine works at all. I had it repaired twice and nearly got the technician fired because he spent too much on parts to fix it.
Thanks for watching.

I'd love to see the opposite of this. I want to make a smart TV into a dumb TV. strip all the streaming services, strip it's special features, etc. Just end up with a large screen with inputs.
That’s easy. I took a smart TV to work and used it as a computer monitor just by connecting to the HDMI and not the Wi-Fi or antenna. Thanks for watching.
Burger King uses Samsung TVs for their menu displays. They somehow disabled all smart features.

@@WaybackRewind I do none of the above and I'm very happy with what I watch.
@Solo Performer Awesome. As long as you are happy with what you have, then no problems. Thanks for watching.
I've been doing firetvstick for years. I even have a how to for beginners on my channel. By the time you got to tv#3 I was scratching my head wondering why you didn't just show that for tv#1🤔Bump all the hassle of the blu-ray player. Sell it & get an xtra firetvstick. Sell it that is if you can find a buyer. Nobody cares about those & dvd players anymore, Can barely give them away @ garage sales lol
Well I try to mix it up and show multiple ways to do the same thing. Different approaches appeal to different people. Maybe they already have a streaming blu-ray player and didn't realize they could just use that on an old CRT. Also, I like to try new things and see if they will work. Often I'm just as surprised as everyone else when it works. Thanks for watching.
I love my old dvd/vhs players!
Make sure you exercise them from time to time. They tend to go bad just sitting.

I don't think the first TV is 47 years old it looks About 10 or 12 , check the video my Friend

Change frestick language
Not really sure if you are asking how to change firestick language? In the setup the first step is to set the language. Not sure how you change it later but I will figure it out and let you know.
To make a long story short....
You didn't make a smart TV.
You used old TVs as a monitor for a smart device.
Sorry buddy. Your 20 years too late.
Me and my mates did this in the 90's
That is a difference without a distinction in my humble opinion, but thanks for watching.
Cool thank you!
Thanks
So if I wanted to connect a not smart TV to another room I would need a 50 ft HDMI cable. Correct?
Well at least one of your cables needs to be 50 ft. It could be the HDMI or the antenna wire or audio/video wire depending on how your TV is connected. Probable best to make it the HDMI cable since it's digital and less suseptible to interference.
Thanks for watching.
