So, my girlfriend has an old rear-projection TV that only has Composite (Yellow, White and Red cables) It might have component, but I don't remember. She really wants to watch Netflix, but my Roku 3 doesn't do analog video at all. What's the best way to allow her to watch Netflix over composite? The Roku 1 goes for $50, is there anything better for the price or even a bit more?

Get your girlfriend a gift.. A new tv.. No really.

I wish, I'm only getting $150 a month right now. But I'm thinking about it for an anniversary present.

The Roku 1 would be a good way to go. It supports composite and hdmi in the future, if she ever gets a newer tv.

 

Just be sure to go into the settings and turn up the resolution if upgrading to an hdmi display. I went over to my moms house for dinner recently, and saw that the tv with the Roku was upgraded, but the settings were still at the lower resolution. So I secretly went and fixed that for her before I left.

Hm, Well.. You could try an adapter for HDMI to Composite.. That I think would be the best way.
