Solved! UHF/VHF converted for ROKU

[triaconnell]

Hello, I am trying to hook up adapters to an old TV that only has the old UHF VHF screw. I tried a UHF/VHF to coax cable converter to an RF modulator, then the red,white, yellow cord from the RF modulator to an HDMI converter, then plugged my ROKU into that. The ROKU is on and has a solid white light, but there’s no picture on the tv screen.

Can someone help me make this work?
Forever grateful,
Tria

Warning, even if this works, the picture will look like crap, you are down-converting several steps in resolution.

A RF converter (must be of analog type) will output antenna signal, and have your TV tuned to channel 3/4.

Ok, thank you. Also I just realized that I have the wrong HDMI box, I need one with an input, mine has output.

Might be simpler to get a Roku Express plus that has AV outputs and eliminate the HDMI to AV converter all together. Probably will give you a better picture too.

Thanks for the suggestion! I also just realized that I have the wrong HDMI converter. I have one with an output, I need one with an input.
