Thanks for any help you can give me.
Theoretically, you could get an hdmi to composite convertor to connect the Roku to the TV, but I don't think it would work very well. You really need to buy a new TV, which are very inexpensive now. Most new tvs are smart tvs that don't require a streaming stick.
Good luck.
