This Roku model has both composite & HDMI connections. The composite cables (red,yellow,white) are included but the HDMI cable is not. I use both, depending on which TV I have it hooked up to, and it works beautifully (standard or HD). This model is versatile and easy to use, they also have other models depending on what you would like to do on your TV. Go to www.roku.com to see more product information.

Sorry I took this long to respond. The answer is yes provided your TV has component hook up you can use RCA style cables.

The Roku needs to be connected directly to your TV. If you have only one HDMI input on your TV, you can use a splitter.

We have Roku on ours and we have an HD cable hooked up from Roku to tv and we have the source on HDMI1. Sorry, other than that, I can't help you.

The answer is yes! I have my Roku connected via the RCA jacks (and two sets of RCA cables) like this: Roku --&gt; VCR line in --&gt; VCR line out --&gt; TV. Your VCR should have a "channel 0" or "line in" or "camera input" function. Set it to this channel and it will record anything the Roku plays. Have fun. :)

Yes, just connect your ROKU to one of the inputs. On a ROKU 3 this would be hdmi.

Am assuming you have newer TVs with HDMI connections . . . Yes, go to Amazon and search for an RCA to HDMI converter. They run about $35.

I believe you should connect your Roku directly to your TV. Then use your TV remote to switch to either HDMI 1, HDMI 2 or HDMI 3 (just depends on how many HDMI inputs you have on your TV).

I'm glad you asked that question. I am having the same problem hooking up an older VCR and DVD, and my new LG TV has only one set of red, white and yellow plugs, which I had to use with my Roku 2, ( I didn't want t use the HDMI, uses too much Mbps? from wi-fi) with this I can now hook them up. Thanks

Yes, however...make sure any "stick" device like the ROKU stick or FIRE stick has an extension cable for the HDMI so the devicecan fit. The HDMI jacks are re-set into the rear of the set, and some "longer" devices will need a short HDMI cable extension (most times they come with them anyway,so this is not an issue.) As far as using the "boxes" themselves via standard HDMI, NO problem!!

Yes i connect it to my older tv via the RCA cable provided. If your TV is really old you can plug the device thru your DVD player or VCR.

If you want to view in 720P (HD), you need an HDMI cable. If Standard Definition is ok for you, you can just use the A/V (red, white, yellow) cables that come with the Roku.

I'm not sure - I only tested the Roku scenario. I can tell you that the 'box' has rca output [only] jacks the the HDMI is input [only]. In other words your source has to be feeding you something from hdmi and your destination has to be able to receive rca inputs. So, for me I have the new Roku that had only an HDMI on the back of the Roku. But my old tv only had rca input jacks in the back. This special box allowed me to bridge that gap. Hope this info helped. Kevin

I am using this adapter in BeagleBone Black. To use in roku 2, as the specification (https://www.roku.com/products/roku-2), I think you need a different adapter, with audio output, since the audio is also in the HDMI connector of roku 2.
