So, the use is pretty widespread even in the modern day and age. Almost all the HDTVs available in the modern day and age come with the component cable input, as well as most of the consoles that we see.Īdditionally, there is a whole host of devices that have the input for these cables. ![]() Thanks to the fact that it had better image quality as well as HD support. ![]() And you can even use this cable with your Amazon Prime Membership to stream classic shows like the Twilight zone to a Standard Definition old Analog TV using the Amazon App on Tivo.When the component cable was introduced, it served as a de facto analog replacement for the composite cable. If you still have an old Analog TV sitting in storage somewhere and also happen to be a Tivo Premier, Roamio, or Mini owner, well then, in August of 2016, it is still possible use modern streaming tools to see Analog TV how it used to look on an actual Analog TV. I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Check out the video (if I can get it to upload) I made of streaming The Twilight Zone from the Amazon Tivo App to the Analog TV and also the Outer Limits in SD, which happened to be live on cable at the same time. 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.

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.
