I apologize if this is in the wrong section. This is what I want to do. I have an extra firestick and would like to connect to an old TV Without composite video ability. It's one of my small tv's that only has a small external antenna jack. I just want to See if I can get it to work but no luck finding anything on the internet, all is for tv's with composite.

I have a few other tv's with composite connections as well.

I guess can I end up getting a firestick to work without composite connections and just an external antenna jack?

Thanks for your help

What kind of converter do I need to watch on the analog if I decide to use cables? The stuff I see on Amazon is analog to hdmi?

Step one is converting the HDMI signal to composite. You need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Composite-Converter-Supports-Chromecast-DVD-Black/dp/B0732NF969/ref=sxin_3_ac_m_pm?ac_md=1-0-VW5kZXIgJDE0-ac_d_pm&cv_ct_cx=hdmi+to+composite+converter&keywords=hdmi+to+composite+converter&pd_rd_i=B0732NF969&pd_rd_r=67fa33c0-8cf8-4c2c-9188-d6b8fac4e5b5&pd_rd_w=n7y1s&pd_rd_wg=Ro4UR&pf_rd_p=aca48c78-b2f3-4b37-8578-418d28bbbe6e&pf_rd_r=0JN8M58BW9DQSRB6544M&psc=1&qid=1579657257&sprefix=hdmi+to+compos&sr=1-1-3f74d940-526b-436f-a83d-f486577edf4d

Step two is converting composite to channel 3 or 4. You need an RF modulator or a VCR for this. This would work: https://www.amazon.com/RCA-Compact-RF-Modulator-CRF907A/dp/B0014KKV7W/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=rf+modulator&qid=1579657374&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sprefix=rf+mod&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyUlpUSFZIT1JKVVEzJ mVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzE5MzAwMklGRzU5U1BTOFA0TCZlbmN yeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDU4NDIzMVRFOEpMQlNBUlc0WiZ3aWRnZ XROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWN rUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

Connect it to your TV, tune in the correct channel and you should be all set.
