It isn’t compatible with a television that old
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you want to use a Roku device, your television must have an HDMI input. If you're trying to get an over-the-air television broadcast signal, you need an antenna, not a streaming box. That, or you need to subscribe to a cable or satellite service that has the older connection formats. You'd be much better of purchasing a newer TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's likely that your "older TV" is not High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliant which only current HDMI connections can negotiate properly.
