your TV needs to have a HDMI port. If it does, this BluRay will work for you.

Not sure why it would not be able to. The TV has both digital and analog audio connectors.

If your challenge is that your newer TV only has HDMI inputs then you could still use this box but would need an HDMI to RCA cable to connect it to the TV (this switch box only has rca inputs/outputs). But then you should be fine.

I don't see why not, there are many "hook ups" on this TV, i even hooked up my VCR player. Really awesome TV

No...if you have an older TV that doesn't have a digital tuner, you need a converter..but you don't get them from the cable company...you buy em...newer digital TVs will work with just a direct hook up.

If it's an older digital TV and has HDMI connections, it should work. But not with an older analog. This device only connects through an HDMI cable.

No. Most older TV's have a standard AV input (red, white and sometimes yellow), so this DVI to HDMI converter will not work. You are looking for an HDMI to AVI connector. Also, look out for converters that are AVI to HDMI... not necessarily the same thing. You are looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Composite-S-Video-Converter-DA-HDRC/dp/B009TC9T7K/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_1

You might try it. I don't think that is what it was made for, but it does a good job from an older VCR to the new TV. Good luck.

It didn't work with my older hd TV, but I've heard if it working with most new ones as long as it has an aux port on the tv it should work or if it's a smart tv

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.

it's got the good old 3.5 mm headphone jack, just like what you'd find in an iPod, smartphone, or Walkman. if you can find a way to make your TV have that kind of port, everything should work fine!

As long as the cable is connected to the antenna and the TV the other end it will work but it has to be the same cable. If you have a older TV you will have to get the converter box and connect the cable to the box first then to the TV. I know someone who has the converter box and hooked it up that way and it works for her. You can always look on youtube to see how to hook it up just do a TV converter box hook up search at youtube. Hope I helped

Not sure. We wanted to hook up an older laptop to the tv and it did not work for that.

It should not if it is a digital TV. That is what I used it on and it works just fine. If it is an old analog I think you will need a box.

With HDMI cable, probably yes... I said probably because some HDTV (old) may not work.

if your older TV has the red green and blue outputs it should work. the red yellow and white will not work

If your TV has a plug that accepts it, yes you can. I've plugged it into my mom's TV old portable, also once in a hotel. Just remember it isn't the large stereo jack, it's the small ones used on mp3 players, cell phones, etc.
