    Hi,

    Could someone advise me as to whether there is a decent android box out there that can be used with an old tv. We have a Sony 32" "big-back" tv that is working fine and I don't really want to get rid of, however I like the idea of an android box for Netflix etc..

    I have been looking online and most seem to use HDMI which is not on our tv. Can any recommend one?

    Also there isn't a broadband cable near the TV but we do have WiFi in the house.

    Thanks

    Hi, not Android box, but Roku LT.

    It has support for TV's without HDMI port, and non HD.

    £41 (€51) direct from Amazon UK, free postage to Ireland:

    Or a Sky Now TV Box, with Plex on, as per this:
