I cannot imagine others have not addressed this..even if a while back. The new cable service winner is actually..Rogers. Because I get a 30% discount, with blending Internet with cable quite a deal. The Internet service, so far, is frankly stunning, and I am at the low end of the scale. However, there is a cable problem..their set top box uses HDMI..and nothing else. There are a couple of solutions, the tech is seeking an adapter, with my concern being that search must go through hands. One solution is tied to a digital splitter I use. red/white/yellow. Is there an HDMI adapter of this kind? The other involves the, miss spelling coming composite cable connection on my television..the same kind Rogers uses for their cable modems. so, an HDMI adapter to this port works as well, I can run audio from my set into the above referenced splitter, or if there is a USB to RCA adapter, manage the same. Thoughts that does not involve my changing TV equipment? I have other media production tools tied to this setup. With appreciation,
HDMI to composite adapters do exist. One complication though is that the connection might have HDCP copy protection which the adapter likely won't support. There do however exist hdmi splitters that also strip the hdcp part of the signal, so at least in combination such a setup should work. I don't recall which TV you had so I can't remember if it was composite only or also did component, and what resolution it supported. There are different adapters for different resolutions and such. But at least in theory the setup should be possible without needing to change your TV. -- Len Sorensen
