HDMI converter

Nov 21, 2012 2 Replies

I am in need of a device that will take the HDMI coming out of my Sat receiver and convert it to composite, S-video, or straight video. . . . I don't suppose such a device is available.


Didn't look very hard, did you...

| 1962 | I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Just be careful on those cheap HDMI to VGA/component/composite etc. cables: they are not converters. Though HDMI is 100% digital, some video appliances output the analog signal on that connector as well. If the device manual explicitly says so the cable will work, otherwise you will need a true converter which cannot be just a cable and will cost around $30.
