Are there any official AndroidTV devices with a composite video output?

by neoman4426

Mostly a curiosity rather than practical, but I got to thinking about how some of the TV boxes that run Android (rather than the proper AndroidTV boxes) have the output, and since I've never heard of the proper boxes having one the ability to hook up to old school TVs is one of the few advantages the lesser boxes might have, though that advantage will get smaller over time as the holdouts get replaced

If you have a TV without HDMI then I'd say it's time to get a new TV.

No there are not. Most people have moved on from that input years ago when HDTVs were in over 50% of households in the U.S.

The only reason TVs still have the port is for people with old VCRs and other types of set top boxes or consoles.

Never seen any. Maybe some of the TV's still have it, but none of the boxes have composite video.

Nah, no need for it in this day and age. Gotta cold break and move on at some point.

I was thinking of hooking up an AndroidTV to my vehicle; they have an adapter cable for analogue video input for the indash navigation system. Searched about and found several other people doing it, but with HDMI adapters like these: https://www.amazon.com/RadioShack-HDMI-Composite-Converter-Converts/dp/B018D2OOXA

Only smart TV box I know with that output is a special Roku Box

I find it hilarious how Android folks always furiously downvote anything they don't find politically correct in whatever wicked sense they'd like.

There are HDMI->Composite converters. So many HDMI features are incompatible with those, although I suppose something might work.
