Anybody else out of work due to the beer disease?

There is no HDMI to coax converter, lol, well not one that I would trust not to be a joke

There are several quality units of exactly this sort on the market.

I also have an HDMI to VGA converter. My desktop has a Ryzen5 processor with on-board graphics and no other graphics card, but the ROG Stryx motherboard only supports HDMI out, and my monitor is a pre-HDMI flat screen.

After closer inspection i need a HDMI to coax converter. My directv box is HDMI

No, you need to toss that in a dumpster and buy a new tv.

 

[rusty ol ranger]

You can try it

Never used one of those before, all the other converters yes

One problem you can run into is the Copyright protection, which is why HDMI was invented, its called HDCP, high definition copyright protection
When you down convert the signal(resolution) it should be OK, but not always

Never used an HDMI to Channel 3/4 converter so wouldn't "recommend it", its pretty easy to put an HDMI female connection and Coax connection on a box and sell it, lol.

The one above is from Radio Shack so I would at least try it, but I know the video down converting works(HDMI>>CVBS), and a separate channel 3/4 modulator works

Time to find an Atari for the old TV and buy a new one for cable.
