can I use this converter to connect apple or amazon stick to an old tv with s-video only?

I don't have neither. But it should work as with any other HDMI device. As this converter really supports full 1080p resolution (while cheaper converters e.g. need to negotiate the resolution down to 1024x768 pixels; and if the source device does not support such a down-negotiation, then it fails; but this better unit does not need that - it should work). My only concern would be the power supply, if the source device (like a TV stick) needs to get also powered by the converter. As this converter has a full and strong power adapter, I would assume this is not an issue. But I did not check this. And then, of course, you need the sound connection in addition to the s-video cable, but I am sure you know that, as s-video never transports sound information. A small switch lets you select the video out port (s-video or composite). So, long story short, yes, I am "pretty" sure that this should work for you.

I don't know, what I did was use an HDMI input to change to a s-video output, I did not try to use component video or composite video output

Hi Eric,I use only to convert Apple TV to RGB for integration. It passes 720P and 1080P to RGB component video and it comes with a 1/8 inch stereo audio cable to stereo to connect to your receiver.works good. don't buy from J&R; Galaxies. Search also HDFury 2, same thing.Ralph

If you have an analog-to-digital converter it should work but if, for examPle you've been using cable and want to cut the cord, you can't unless you have the converter.

My experience with Apple products is that they tend to have proprietary devices that work only with their hardware/software. However, if you look at the output of your Apple TV (depending on which model you have) search Google/Bing...for "apple tv connections". One of the units has an HDMI output that would connect to the HDMI input on this HD device. Then connect the component video (Red,Blue,Green) output on this HD device to the component video (R,B,G) input on your tv connection. Here's the product web site: http://www.u9ltd.com/ Hope that helps!

Yes you can. Some Mention to Apple TV is some times listed but it's just an HDMI to VGA with audio converter. Works well for me.

I believe so. I have not used it for this purpose, however. I simply needed to convert s-video to HDMI. The unit appeared to work, however I have changed my setup now and no longer use it.

No this does opposite of what you need it for. This will connect old products such as a VCR to new TV sets with HDMI.

I used this to connect the HDMI output of an AppleTV to a projector with DVI (video part) and a stereo system with conventional audio input (audio part). The projector and stereo system do not have HDMI inputs. It works fine for me.

Yes, that's the precise use of this device. I have hooked my macbook pro to an old tube television.

I assume so. I tried to plug an apple tv HDMI to rca and my droid micro hdmi to rca. It worked for like 10min then the picture lost color and was grey. I think it gets too hot I sent it back

I think so. I use it to connect Apple TV optical port to my old Hi-Fi red/white analog. Hope this help

you will need to get an adaptor box, that will allow the type of connections you want, unfortunately, this S-video Connector cable only works with these type of adaptor boxes

I just connected to the cable and was good to go. Older TV's need a converter box.

I have a 2000 vintage Cinema Display and I bought a used DVI to ADC converter for my Mac mini and it works great. It is physically (relatively) large like an older power brick but it works fine. You just have to hunt for a used converter.

No, you would have to buy the other one with the output being RCA and the input being hdmi. You would use this adapter for hooking up a hdmi only device to an older TV with no hdmi.
