How-to Make Your Old TV Smart in a Few Easy Steps With Fire TV
Do you have an old TV lying around the house collecting dust — maybe one in your garage or backyard, your child’s dorm room, or the home of an elderly family member? Give your TV new life by turning it into a smart TV in a few easy steps with Fire TV.
Your TV doesn’t even need to have an HDMI port — as long as it’s functioning, all you need is a compatible HDMI adapter and a wireless connection in your home.
Here’s how easy it is to upgrade your old TV:
- Determine which HDMI adapter is compatible with your old TV. Common HDMI adapters include HDMI to AV (RGB) adapter, HDMI to component adapter, or HDMI to SVGA adapter (available for as little as $8 — $21).
- Connect the HDMI adapter to the port on your TV and connect your Fire TV Stick or Fire TV Cube.
- If you already have an Amazon device that is connected to your home network, Wi-Fi simple setup can have you up and running in seconds.
- Sign into your Amazon account to register your Fire TV device or create a new account if you don’t already have one.
With Fire TV, customers in the U.S. can enjoy more than 1 million TV episodes and movies from apps including Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max*, as well as popular ad supported TV shows and movies for free from Amazon Freevee, Pluto TV, Tubi, YouTube, PBS, and more.
