“Hi, I'm needing a wireless reciever device to stream from my laptop to an older tv that is not hd, is this device what I need? If not what will work? I also have a 42" HD flatscreen, so would like the device to work also on that tv for later use, is this possible? The particular tv that isn't a modern hd flat screen tv is just a really nice & big with a great picture quality still so see no need to get rid of it currently. My laptop is new with windows 8.1, which I like, but of course it is eligeable for the windows 10 free upgrade, so would need the streaming device to still work with windows 10. Thanks in advance.”

Absolutely, it should. That is; It works great on my older 70" "Projection TV." I think the key is having an HDMI port. The device requires "power" either via a USB port on the TV itself or, optionally, via the included AC adaptor. The USB on my Projection TV did not work for some reason. Nevertheless, via the AC adaptor; the device works just fine.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This device uses an HDMI connection. The only way to make it work with an older TV is if you plug it into a multi media receiver with HDMI ports. I'm guessing you have RCA ports on the TV. So you need a receiver with RCA connections and HDMI connections also. The receiver should also be able to up convert to HD. A receiver with all those attributes to make this little dongle work will cost you a pretty penny. It would be cheaper to just by a new HD TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.On your TV that is not HD you will probably will not have an HDMI input witch is required with this item. This item allows you to mirror content from a compatible device. In other words what is in your tablet/laptop is what you see on the screen. I had chromecast and Apple TV and they work a little different. Chromecast will access the app by being connected to the Internet and the device on the same network. Apple TV has built in apps that access the desired app with or without a device hooked up to it. Also in Apple TV you can mirror your phone. The bad thing is that you need an HDMI input in your TV. You can possibly find and HDMI to A/V adaptor and any of those devices will work. Not sure if this helps.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This product will work on the flat screen if it has a HDMI connection. On the older TV it might work if it has an HDMI connection or a USB connection. If not then it won't work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Roku3 has only HDMI output. For an older TV with A/V inputs you have to use either Roku2, or Roku 2XS if you need wired connection to the modem.
