    You'll need an active HDMI to RCA/or whatever output you need.

    HDMI is Digital, RCA is not, an active converter is the only way to get it done,. there will be additional electronics in the adapter that would convert the digital signal to analog (DAC) instead of just simple rewiring.

    I'm still not sure if that'll work since some contents (like Blu-ray movies) enforces HDCP (copyright protection) and that might mess up with your converter.

    It'll just be best to buy a TV that already has HDMI.
