We had a power surge from a lightening strike and the two HDMI ports are no longer working on our TV but the RCA port is still functional. Is if possible to connect a ROKU to the TV through an RCA port?
 
Solution
You will need an active HDMI to AV converter. A passive cable won't work.
You could also get the Roku Express+ which has AV outputs. You won't get HD either way.

They sell replacement boards so maybe the HDMI inputs can be repaired.
