Well, kinda snarky ............. but. Yes I KNOW it comes out of the ark, but the room gets used maybe for two weeks a year, if that. I know I can buy TVs, even a Roku TV for cheap money, but I am from the generation that fixed it before throwing it and I am wondering if there is a gizmo available to make this TV work.

Addendum to above: How to Stream Video on an Older TV - The New York Times

So this is the information I need.
