You need The KanexPro HDMI to Component with Audio Converter, Amazon has one for $49.95. The Portta converts component to HDMI and your TV does not have a HDMI connector, if your TV has component connectors then the Kanex pro will work for you. That is what I have is the Kanex pro, because I have the same problem you have I have an older high definition TV and I use the Kanex pro to connect my Blu-ray DVD player HDMI output to component input on my TV. If you just bought the Portta, see if Amazon will exchange it for the Kanex pro.

I am not certain about the exact device you described. What I can tell you is that I successfully used this HDMI switcher with a chromecast, ps3, and time warner cable. I did have to try different combinations, ie move devices to different spots on the HDMI device. After enough guess and check all my devices worked.

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

Connect a PC using a HDMI cable or using Google Chromecast to a HDMI port, or Apple TV to a HDMI port

My guess is that it wouldn't work properly since you won't be able to play any sound from the Google Chromecast. HDMI includes audio signals but VGA does not (only video). Accordingly, you might be able to get the video signal on the projector by using the adapter but you will loose the audio signal (unless the Chromecast has a separate audio output).

I don't know about that stuff....I have it connected between an antenna and an older TV and it works great....have never used the HDMI or USB ports

You want a box opposite of this one. This box takes an older type composite signal and outputs HDMI (for a new TV). Check the site for a box that does the opposite of this one (HDMI to composite) and you will be fine.

also, no hdmi output, the only ports are headphones, micro usb and micro sd. would work with chromecast though.

I do not own a Chromecast but I would think is it is looking for a HDMI port to transmit data into and the Belkin is a HDMI multiport

It works with my HTPC and Roku, but not my Chromecast. For some devices you do need power.

You'll need to get a converter. There's different makes and models, but I ordered the View HD Premium HDMI to composite Model H2STVs. It will work with anything that connects to HDMI if your TV has the yellow, red and white composite inputs. It's $51, so for a little more, a new TV with an HDMI port may be best. Here's a link to the one I have: http://amzn.to/1wyJgwe And here's a YouTube video showing how someone connected his Chromecast to an old TV using a different HDMI converter. It doesn't matter if it's a Chromecast or Fire Stick; they both connect using HDMI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2e23Ps5AWw

You would need an HDMI gender changer for the Chromecast (the Chromecast only has a 'Male' HDMI plug, so you need a double-'Female' changer to connect the HDMI-to-VGA product to it (like this: PTC Premium GOLD Series HDMI Female/Female Coupler ) (not affiliated) ), but I see no obvious reason it wouldn't work. Tempted to try it now that you bring it up. :-)

Considering a chromecast is just an HDMI input device, of course it will work. Mine works just fine. As for the USB port, I power my chromecast with it.

That's why I got it and you are supposed to be able to manually switch but the device did not work at all for me. It may work for you. The return policy is forgiving enough to try. I was trying to switch between chromecast, ps4 and xbox one.

Well the question is, what's an old tv? You need to use an HDMI cable. So if your tv doesn't support HDMI then the answer is no.

No clue. I have my Chromecast attached to a port and works fine, sorry to hear :(
