    Don't let it rattle you, it's bark is worse than it's bite.

    Joking apart I'd look on Amazon for Scart to Hdmi or component/rca (the red, white and yellow sockets) to hdmi adapters and use that to connect to a streaming box.

    Also the Roku Express+ is a streaming box/stick with component connections, advertised for use with older TVs. I can't see it for sale on amazon.co.uk though, only in the states.

    No experience. Theoretically SCART allows higher quality than RCA.


    If it's a good old TV and I wanted to get the most out of it I'd probably get these to connect it with a SCART cable:


    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Roku-Express-Streaming-Media-Player



    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XRX5L71/ref=psdc_1338421031_t1_B01GFPCHYA



    This is just from quick googling, you might get better and cheaper elsewhere.
