    Buy a Blu-ray player with a HDMI socket.  This will be cheap and a much better solution for a DVD player.  Does your TV have any video input sockets that you could hook the xbox up to?

    No one can guarantee that it will work with your specific equipment -   all you can do is squander £8 and try it out

    I've been through this , was cheaper and easier to buy a Blu-ray player. 

    Reviews for the hdmi converters were full of fake reviews , the real ones were mixed In the quality of the conversion.

    Blu ray player copes with my old dvds with no problem

    Quality converters can be rather expensive and you may find the resultant display after conversion unsatisfying on the new TV.
