Hello everyone,
So first off, I'm not big at all with all my electronics. I know a few things but if someone was to ask for a recommendation on a product or something of the kind I would probably recommend the worst they could possibly get.
Onto the question now; I recently bought the Google Chromecast since I would like to watch a few shows from the TV in my room, but then I realised after I purchased that the Chromecast would require a HDMI input on my television to work. I don't really use my TV so I haven't bothered to buy a new TV for years, so I still have an older TV with the Red, White, Yellow cables.
I just thought this would be easy to get around, so I got straight onto buying a HDMI to AV converter from Amazon as well as a two way Red White Yellow cable. So they both arrived and I connected the Chromecast extension to the end, attached the Chromecast and plugged everything in as normal. Then I put one end of the RWY cable into the converter and the other into the television and that was that, I should have been set, in my mind I should have been that is.
When connecting to the correct source (AV3) on my television everything was just crazy. The screen is all fuzzy and blurry and there are colours red, white, green just patterning across the screen. I tried to take the extender and attach just the Chromecast to the converter and that was just a grey fuzzy screen alone.
I have tested a video from YouTube and the sound is working perfectly, but the video is just refusing to get itself onto my TV. There was one point where I could say on a black&white screen that the Chromecast was loading at the bottom, but as soon as it hit the main waiting screen the colours were all back again.
What can I do to fix this? Would I need to buy something else to fix this? Is my television the problem here and would I need to just get a new one?
