Looks like it may be too old? Lots of help below, but this seems hopeful.

Does a Roku Stick Work on Any TV? The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is designed to be compatible with any TV that has an HDMI port. This means it will work on both smart and non-smart TVs, as long as they have an HDMI connection.
If your TV is analog, don't worry! You can still use the Roku Streaming Stick 4K by using an AV Composite Converter. This will allow you to enjoy all the features of the Roku Streaming Stick on your TV.

All Roku streaming players will work for any television with an HDMI connection, so any Roku player can be connected to a 4K UHD or HDR-compatible television. However, to stream movies and TV shows in 4K UHD or HDR you will need a compatible Roku streaming player and television that supports 4K UHD or HDR.

I have an older Sony Bravia KTl-52V4100 tv and would like to use a Roku streaming device. Am wondering if they are compatible?

All you have to do is locate a Roku device where the outputs are configured for the inputs on your set. If so, you are good to go!!!! Of course, you do have to have a wi fi network for your Roku to connect to

How do you hook up roku premiere plus to an older TV that doesn't have HDMI or HD?

if the tv has no hdmi socket then you are wasting your time
the one way you may get it to work is to buy a set top box to convert signal to hd as they have a hdmi socket in the back

I AM TRYING TO HOOK UP A ROKU TO AN OLDER TV USINGMODULATOR. i GET BLACK LINES. nO PICTURE? WHAT AM i DOING WRONG

Forgive me I am out of touch with modern techno stuff but I think this is some media streaming gizmo if so then your TV would need possibly HDMI or at least a 15 pin svga port found on flatscreens. Most older TV's would have an aerial socket, scart and phonos of one sort or another (with the odd BNC and DIN type thrown in).
Now if this is so, I doubt you will manage it at all your ROKU is chucking images out at a rate that is far beyond any old system to work with. A modulator say those £30 thingys that have a scart or phonos can only cope with basic video or rgb.
Your ROKU would have to "slum" it down to RGB or COMPONENT level before you could get that converted down to say a modulator with basic video by then its quality would be very gone. To understand deeper look for the word Scaler in up and down this is a device to alter images from one format to another found in say TV systems, though for you I would get a more modern flatscreen that has suitable sockets to match your ROKU plenty of say older models with less features than their newer cousins and have still older style connectors for older secondary equipment (video) to work with.
I am working a bit by guesswork over what you have there to work with, some convertions are easier less complex than others.
Hope this helps a little.......

Which roku do I get for a sharp model lc32sb24u

I always get the 3 because it has the most features. I have three of them now, and they all work great. I think any of them will work with your tv as long as it has an HDMI input.

I have a vizio TV & use Dish network I just purchased a Roku 1 and have tried both HDMI & RCAplugs get nothing. do i leave Dish in " on" position????

Donald Bosh,

The DISH equipment is not compatible with the Roku devices. The Roku will need to be connected directly to your TV.

I will provide you their link to better assist with your questions; http://support.roku.com/entries/413244-Contact-Support

My roku streaming device is froze on this blue screen and will not change?

Glenda, Are you connected to your tv by HDMI or AV cables?
The blue screen is usually an indication of one of two things.
1: The HDMI cable has come loose but not entirely disconnected (Turn off Roku and TV unplug the HDMI cable from the Roku AND Tv and reconnect them making sure to seat the ends securely and turn on TV and Roku in that order)
2: your TV or receiver may not support HDCP (a content copy-protection solution) over HDMI. This is generally true for older TV models that have early HDMI implementations that do not follow current standards. Try connecting your player with the included A/V composite cable instead.

Can't get Roku N1100 to work with Samsung LCD. Worked fine with older style TV. DVD input works fine. Connect Roku....Nothing. Samsung LN32C350. Attempting to connect with RCA style connectors,...

Make sure you select the correct input for your device. If you are using RCA cables then select the RGB option on your inputs, or it may RCA as a connection. If you are using HDMI then make sure that is selected.
