Review on πŸ”Œ HDMI to Composite Converter by RadioShack by Michael Jennings

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Doesn't work with some devices

I bought this converter to connect a Roku Premiere+ to an old analog CRT TV via the TV's composite inputs. For some reason this doesn't work. When I turn on the TV and the Roku device, I get a distorted picture. I tried lowering the Roku's output resolution from 1080 to 720, but it made absolutely no difference. Roku Premiere+ doesn't have an option to set the output resolution to 480, so I couldn't try that. I also tried connecting my Roku device to a more modern HDTV using a converter via the TV's composite inputs and had the same problem as before - a distorted picture. I have no idea, why it doesn't work. Many say the converter works with Roku streaming players. There are no instructions included with the converter and the packaging does not indicate that it may not be compatible with some devices. It should work with any HDMI device. However, I am sending the device back because it is unusable for me.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
