Video streaming requires a streaming client - a piece of hardware that receives and decodes the data stream and turns it into a video signal. Increasingly, these streaming clients offer only HDMI outputs but there are still models that feature a composite video, an S-video or analog component output. All are analog signals and almost all analog televisions will have at least one of these inputs.
Take a look at the back of your television or look at the manual. Find out which inputs it has and then select a streaming unit that has at least one matching output.

Can you convert a TV to digital TV?
It is not possible to convert an analog television to a digital television. However, by using a digital set top receiver, it is possible to receive digital signals and deliver them as an analog signal to an analog television. Digital receivers are not expensive, starting at around $25 in US and £20 in the UK. They will allow all terrestrial channels to be received in the same way that a digital television will. Cable and satellite receivers can also receive digital signals and will provide an analog output that can be used with older televisions. With these options, there is no need to replace analog televisions right away. Remember that analog only televisions will not be HD so don't expect a sudden increase in picture quality when the digital receivers are used.

Can you use old antena with converter box to get HD on your anolog tv?
For most people, their old antenna will work just fine. Don't let the people at the electronics store fool you, there is no such thing as an "HD antenna." There is nothing special that needs to be done to an antenna to receive HD signals. In fact, many of the antennas that are being marketed as "HD antennas" are inferior UHF-only antennas that receive a smaller set of signals than your old antenna. However, some people who were barely receiving an analog signal may need to buy a better antenna. Also, if the location of the digital transmitter has changed or the signal strength of the TV station has changed, you may need to re-aim or replace your old antenna. Simply plug the old antenna into the converter box and then plug the converter box into your old TV where the antenna used to go and you will be fine. The converter box will tune in a digital station (some digital stations are HD, some are not) and convert the digital signal into an old-fashioned analog standard definition signal and feed it into your old analog TV. You will not be able to watch shows in HD on your old analog TV, but you will be able to watch a version of the HD broadcast that has been converted into Standard Definition (SD) for you. You will be able to watch all of the digital stations including the HD ones but you will see them in Standard Definition. Standard Definition is 480i. Digital to Analog converter boxes receive all tv transmissions of 1080P , 1080i , 720P , 480P , 480i and coverts them ALL to 480i to watch on a standard definition NTSC Analog TV.
Will you still be able to use your non digital television once the switch over?
Yes you will. The digital switch over that is progressing in many countries is supported by the promotion of digital set top boxes. They are available at a minimal cost ($25 in the US or £20 in the UK for example). The set top box receives the digital transmissions and converts the signal to analog video and audio signals to be fed into an analog television. With a very few exceptions, analog televisions will not handle HD channels but they should be quite capable of receiving all SD channels. Similarly, most satellite and cable boxes have SD analog outputs so analog televisions will work with most broadcast platforms.

What HDMI port do you connect s video wire to?
HDMI and S-video are completely incompatible connectors. HDMI carries digital data in component or RGB formats while S-video is a 2 wire analog signal. The two cannot be connected without using digital - analog or analog - digital converters. To use an S-video source with a new television, look for analog connectors on the rear of the television or in the manual. Most televisions have an analog input although it may be composite rather than S-video. Almost all sources that have an S-video output will also have a composite output. A little research into the available connectors on the source and the television should produce a workable result.
