First up, you need an adapter.

This will need to convert HDMI to whatever your TV takes.

It’s very likely your TV is RCA.

RCA is the yellow, red and white wires.

You can get one on Amazon for £3.99 at the moment.

Next, you’ll need a smart TV streaming device to play out what you want.

Amazon’s Fire TV Stick Lite with Alexa Voice Remote Lite is currently on sale for £29.99.

Connect the adapter to a power source and plug an HDMI cable from the Fire TV Stick to the adapter, and away you go.

Of course, you could try other smart devices too.

And you can even play things like your PlayStation or a Blu-ray player.
