I have a tv that is several years old that does not have a HDMI plug. My cable box is HD and since there is no HD port I cannot use the TV. Will this work for me? IF not, what do i need. Thank you

If you have a tv with component inputs, you will need a hdmi to component ypbpr converter, this will convert the hdmi signals to a form suitable for use with the component inputs on your tv, this converter is available from amazon, hope this helps.

It will not work I tried several ways.i should have known better,I've been installing satellites for 10 years. Your best option is a new hd tv .period

I don,t think so. Usually Hd is digital and component plugs are analog. I tried the same thing and it did,t work for me.

This HDMI adapter works for adapting the HDMI(Digital) signal to a Component(Red, Blue, Green-Analog) and stereo out(Red, White- Audio). Unless your TV has component input then you would only be able to use the audio stereo from this adapter. There are different converters out there that are able to convert HDMI(Digital) to composite(S-Video) or to an RCA(Yellow-Analog) format. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Yes and no. The cord has the same make-up as a cable cord so it would screw into the cable port or the input/antenna port. However, if your tv is older than 2007? then you won't be able to pull down HDTV channels without a converter box. This antenna will probably only work if you have a tv that has an internal HD tuner or if you get a converter box. I hope this helps?

Eddy, Most HD TVs will pick up the digital signals (older HD "ready" models require a converter box). So, you shouldn't need a converter box to receive the digital signals, just an antenna. This box will not pick up any digital channels without using an antenna as well. However, if you do need a converter box, I would not recommend this one. I had one and it went out after a few months.

Yes, u can buy optical cable to do it. If ur tv is old and does not support hdmi arc, you still cannot use hdmi ports.

All you need is your TV and the HD Antenna. If your TV is ancient, it might not work. But any modern TV should work with this antenna. Go to www.antennaweb.org to find out which stations you will be able to access from your location.

The user guide states to use the HDMI cable that comes with the TV for this port or to use a Hi speed 1080P cable. Not sure why this port is an exception.

I just bought this model, and both the salesman and my cable company told me that I will need a box to get HD channels. Are they selling me a bill of goods? I don't want to pay for a cable box if I don't need one. We are currently running the TV (analog only) from just the cable with no cable box. pananer

Short answer: NoLong answer:Because this cable does not actually convert the signal from analog to digital, if you did hook up your box with this cable to the TV the signal received by the TV in the HDMI port it wouldn't understand, and would not display anything. (The output of your box being RCA outputs an analog signal, while HDMI is a digital signal.) Hope this helps.

If your cable box has HDMI output,then it should be no problem.......otherwise you can use the component outputs on the cable box.

It is really simple .If your TV has an HDMI input and out put jack then this will work. it is designed so you do not have any cables showing except the power cable. so if your location does not have a wall plug near the TV or, in my case above the fire place, then you can have an electrician install one , so now you have no wires or cables showing and every thing works just great. so to put the other guys opinion to rest Yes This will work on any TV with HDMI jacks....

You need the cable to get your cable box connected to your TV for the best picture quality if you subscribe to High Definition channels. A regular cable can also be used to connect your TV to your cable provider. You can use the HDMI to connect other things like a DVD player or Video Games consoles. Hope this helps!

If you have an analog tv you have to buy a converter box that enables you to get hd signals. If your tv does not have the cable connection on the tv, you cannot use this device. The only alternative is to get a satellite dish and receiver box from directv which allows your tv to pick up hd signals.

No--and when I tried hooking it up to my tv with the cable and the adapter I needed (to fit the particular port on my tv) I get a message that says I can't use it---have not yet worked out what is happening there, but have been using it with the included av cables just fine. I'll do that until I figure out what the problem is with hdmi on this television set....but at least you can get up and running until you get an hdmi cable.

Not this. you need an HDMI converter box. There is no such thing as an adapter cable in that instance.

If I recall correctly, HDMI1 is for Blue-Ray; so I used HDMI for my HD from cable box into receiver. Use the pass-thru out from receiver to TV. That way, you can still watch TV with receiver off.

Does the HDMI up-conversion only convert signals that are not connected via HDMI cables?In other words, when I connect my cable box to the receiver via HDMI port, and from the receiver to the TV via HDMI port, will the receiver up-convert the non-HD cable channels?

I agree with the other answers - just would like to add there are also difference in which HDMI cable you'll need too. And that will depend on the age and type/brand of television you have due to the hook up types that was provided by the manufacturer of your television. Good luck.
