Out of HDMI ports on our TV and was wondering if this will work. The TV has a VGA connector. Want to connect a HDMI DVD player through it.

Anybody had success?

Why would you bother, you can sue RCA to RCA, or get an HDMI hub?

Im guessing the point is for HD video, and a hub requires another remote or to get up and switch.

"Unidirectional HDMI in to VGA / 3 RCA out" woluld suggest that this works in the opposite direction that you want

My point was, if you have an HDMI player and TV then its a waste to use anything less. I think you can get HDMI hubs that are smart. Not cheap but its a nice long term solution.
