I have a Direct Tv Satellite box with out HDMI, I have the cable with Red White an yellow hook up, my new TV only has a Red White, Blue or Green hook up how do I connect these hook ups without a yellow connection on it.

Those are different cable standards, Component vs Composite. To my knowledge you can't hook one up to the other, though it wouldn't surprise me if a TV had the ability to do it. If your satellite box doesn't have the hook ups to go to your TV, I'd call the company and get a different box.

some tvs use the green or blue as yellow for red white yellow. My vizio used I think the green as yellow if that was all you had. should be in the manual or on the back it will say like R G/Y B
