VGA to HDMI Converter

[mrrockin96]

Hi, I have an old Samsung TV which accepts both VGA and also HDMI. I have an android tv box with an HDMI port. I want to use the VGA port on the tv instead of the HDMI because of another issue. I bought a VGA to HDMI converter https/www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252400408679. Now i noticed that this might not work due to being VGA to HDMI and not HDMI to VGA. Can it still work please? Thanks.

That is not the correct adapter. You need an ACTIVE HDMI to VGA adapter. The description of this cable, it is not a converter, says it does no conversion just maps pinouts.
