Old TV - inputs

Yorkie1

I have old TVs that still work fine but don't have the current types of connections to other devices. Basically, it's SCART / S-video.

Is it possible to get converters for the input leads from the other devices? e.g. HDMI to SCART?

Something like this would do the trick - https://www.amazon.co.uk/ESYNiC-Converter-Composite-Stereo-Adapter/dp/B015XCA6RG/

Yup. Maplin, for one supplier. Google for others

Thanks so much, everyone. :T

I'd posted with an expectation of you saying it couldn't be done; now I'm going unlimited Wi-Fi I can look into a Now TV box or similar for the upstairs TV that doesn't have an aerial going to it. :beer:

Bear in mind if you are looking for new equipment, that some conversions are "cable-only", whereas others require an interface box, such as those above.

For example, the old (white) Now TV boxes had a mini-Jack RCA output, which is cable-only compatible with SCART. You might still be able to get one second-hand or on the grey market. e.g.

The newer black Now TV boxes only have HDMI, but are probably a better box overall.

Why limit yourself to old-skool 480p, you can pick-up a new 1080p TV with DVD player for £100?
