Yes you could "MAKE" it work but it would have large black bars on top and bottom, or some content cut off on the sides. The converter itself will be ~$30 then the roku or firestick another @30. You will have spent 60 to have a frustrating TV viewing experience. Find a good cheap TV..(Read the reviews for how fast the interface is) and have it all in one remote and a proper sized screen. You could also add a cheap antenna and pickup local digital channels as well for more general use. I have a 32" visio for that use is it is pretty handy.
