How can I connect a playstation 2 to an Alba TV?
No, it you don't have Composite Video connections, you can't. Alba is not a good make, it is a bargain basement brand from the 70s and 80s. Check Facebook Marketplace for something a bit more modern and HD.
Box is not detecting channels
Thanks for the answers and explanations. I'm going to purchase a Linux STB on
switchonshop and now I'm trying to figure out all the things concerning TV boxes, applications, installation. It's not that difficult as far as I understand but still I have to pay attention to many aspects.
Can I play a movie
Unless stated otherwise, either on the player itself, or in the instruction manual, no. You would need to convert the .avi file to DVD compliant format in order to play it. ConvertXtoDVD can do this and can give you the option of burning the converted result directly to DVD-R. It is a shareware program.
Many DVD players can handle .divx files on a CD-R, but takes a while to read the contents before playing them, then there are .mp3 and .jpeg which is a fairly common file format, playable almost anywhere. It is unlikely or extremely rare that any standalone DVD player or similar external device can play .avi raw data files successfully.
There are heaps of video conversion software programs available.
