The cable box has an HDMI OUT, not in. You can't connect your PC to the cable box to "convert". If you are watching TV on the computer screen, how are you getting the signal to the computer screen ?

What model is the TV ?

OK. Streaming on a laptop. You will have to get the model of the TV so that we can look up a user's manual or pictures. OR post pictures of all the ports on the back of the unit.

You can get an HDMI to yellow/red/white RCA adapters. You will probably have to set your resolution to 640x480 to use it...

I knew that all along, if you read my question again I stated I do not have any money to do so right now. Thanks

Then there is no answer. You have an output of type "A" and a monitor with only type "B" inputs. You have no money to purchase a converter, therefore you have no way to get from point "A" to point "B" .
