Review on πŸ”Œ UPGROW HDMI to RCA Video Audio Converter Adapter - 1080p HDMI to AV RCA CVBs Composite Supports PAL/NTSC - for TV Stick, Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, PC, Laptop, Xbox, HDTV, DVD-Black (UPGROWHRCA01) by Michael Gonzales

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It does what it's supposed to - I can finally stream videos on my old TV again!

Easy enough to set up when you first think about it, and it worked almost immediately. The only thing that confuses me a bit is that I think the manual doesn't mention a US (NTSC)-European (PAL) signal switch on the side. When I plugged it in, I set it to the wrong one, making my Roku home screen look like I was watching the credits at the end of a movie through mini-blinds while someone quickly opened and closed them. Luckily I remembered the note about the switch in the Revain description and that completely solved the problem. It would be nice to add a note to the instructions in the converter box that if you have screen image issues you may need to flip the switch to a different setting depending on which country you live in. The other part is that it would be nice if you could also include a USB to female adapter with the correct electrical specs for the converter box. Not everyone needs it, but I had to hunt around the house for an adapter and worry that the power output was too high for the device. An approved version that could also be integrated into the converter would be nice. It's cheaper in quality, so if it suddenly fails I'll update this review. But the 18-month money-back guarantee for any reason is great! Thank you for taking care of your customers! I bought two. I haven't set up the second one yet, but I'll write a review for it as soon as it's connected.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
