No. As for Roku, it requires High Speed internet. If you do not have the internet then it will not do you any good to purchase one. As for the older TV, Roku stick is not a good choice for the older TV since it requires an HDMI connection, which older TV's usually do not have. However, the Roku 2 and Roku 3 have a way for you to connect the Roku to your TV using 3 wires, red, white and yellow which all older TV's tend to have. These are the same red, white and yellow wires that we used to connect our old VCR's to our TV's. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Lack of cable service is no problem, but the ROKU stick requires an HDMI input connection. If the TV has no HDMI input available, or if there is no way to connect to the TV through another component that can receive HDMI input, then a different ROKU model that can connect to an older TV would be required. Don't forget that internet service is also required.
