HD for Joey with non-HDMI TV

[dmb2004]

Any suggestions on how to still get HD picture on my Joey TV (TV 2) when the TV only has component and S video and no HDMI/DVI? Its an old HD TV before HDMI was standard. Thanks for any help out there.

Monoprice.com has an HDMI to component converter. For only $36.00 each when QTY 50+ purchased - HDMI® to Component (YPbPr) & R/L Stereo Audio Converter | HDMI to Component (YPbPr) / VGA Converters

Does the tv have component, or composite (red,white,yellow)?

It's an old HDTV, so it has component (like my first HDTV, a Mitsubishi rear projection, with component but no HDMI).

I had the same issue, thankfully it was just a 17" tv in my kids bedroom. I bought a like new 19" LCD with HDMI on E-Bay for $75 free shipping, rather than purchase the converter above for $38 for such an old tv.

Thanks for everyone's help. The new TV would be my choice, but just convinced wife for us to spend to upgrade to Hopper, so may save new TV discussion for another day. I figured the converter box would be an option. Its an old school HDTV and I even have the external HD Tuner box for it. The HD TUner does have DVI in/out, so would it be possible to take a HDMI to DVI cable from the Joey to the HD Tuner and then component from the HD Tuner to the TV?? Would I get the quality I am looking for and would this even work? Thanks for helping out a newbie to this forum.

My basement TV is an older HDTV and I am using a HDMI-DVI cable for it's Joey. It works fine. Not sure if the tuner box will cause a problem or not. Monoprice (the site linked above) has pretty cheap HDMI-DVI cables so you can give it a try.

Put the Hopper at that TV, it has component. If your Hopper/Joey is already installed, you will have to switch the wiring.

Yes. If it is indeed an input, it would work. You will have to run an audio cable (red and white RCA connectors), as DVI does not carry audio. The tuner should also have an audio input to work with the DVI input, if it is actually an input and not an output.

HDMI - DVI adapters are dirt cheap. And, you probably have an audio cable lying around somewhere.

Thanks again all for the help. The last suggestion is what I was afraid of, but will probably be the most efficent and will make sure I have HD quality on older HDTV. If what I have researched is correct, the only limitation on the Joey TV is no PIP. Thanks again

The most efficient would be the HDMI-DVI converter plus audio cable.

Thanks Gary Pen for your suggestion as well. This is an outstanding site/forum

I've got a 2004 Phillips HDTV with no HDMI input, it does have Y/PB/PR, VGA (computer input) and a component (input red, white, Yellow.
My question is can I get HD to the TV from the HDMI with a HDMI to VGA cable? I noticed the Joey does not have Y/PB/PR outputs. Or must I use a HDMI converter to the Y/PB/PR in's.

You must use a converter.

Thank you, that's what I suspected.
