![]() ![]() I had to hit Zoom on the remote to get the aspect ratio right for stations broadcasting in SD. Once the Tivo Video settings were changed to only support 4:3 SD TVs, the analog TV stations on my cable subscription looked great too. They are stretched a little tall to fit the shorter width of the 4:3 SD TV but the "tall stretch" didn't look that bad to me. The result of using this cable was great for HTDV channels. When I was 6 my father used to have me run up and smack the side of the wood console TV cabinet and somehow it fixed the picture. I grew up with massive floor sitting 4:3 console TVs so I'm sure it was simply nostalgia driving me to buy this cable. It made my wife happy to remove this huge unit from the house, but I kind of missed it. I had a old HDTV Sony WEGA KD-34XBR970 34-Inch FD Trinitron Digital HDTV at one point which I sold. Why turn an old Analog TV into a modern smart TV that can stream Amazon video? As for me, the reason was simple.

I did not end up using the component cable, Red Blue Green, which was also included in the kit. ![]() TiVo Mini Composite and Component Cable Kit The cables are well built, and I used the Yellow, Red, White analog one to connect a Tivo Mini (which extends a Tivo Roamio) to an old Analog TV. This feature works on my Tivo Mini, but the link below also states the following are supported. I used my Tivo mini to extend my Tivo Roamio and then this mini AV cable to go from the Tivo Mini to the Analog TV. The answer for me was Tivo and this cable. The problem with keeping them was to figure out how to get all the modern features and on demand applications, like Amazon Video, to work on an old school Analog TV. In August of 2016, I still had two of these 150 LB beasts and they worked great. ![]() Maybe it was nostalgia, but I wanted to keep at least one working Analog TV. I do wish it had a catchier moniker, rather than simply "the 70000 Series.Impossibile caricare il contenuto multimediale. At just 2 pounds, it's half as heavy as its former incarnation and takes up one-quarter the space, leaving me with vast amounts of open air in my under-TV gear stack after a quick, new-for-old PS2 swap. The digital optical cable and component video adapter plugged into the obvious places, while the replacement AC cable now patches into the breakout AC adapter (the 8.5-volt power supply is now located outside the console, which is another secret to the PS2's profound weight loss). While some of the accessories designed for use with the original PS2 are not compatible with this new design (the vertical stand and the Multitap to allow four players instead of the standard two, although new versions of each are now available), I was happy to find that my step-up Monster Game products all still fit. It's comparable in size to a paperback book, but it reminds me more of a portable DVD player, sans screen, in black.
