Hi, would like to bring Amazon tv stick/box into my older setup..if possible.
This is not for my main room, my gear in this room is..

Panasonic TH-42 PWD6 plasma ( would like to keep?)...old but it was bought at prime price in it's day....works fine and pic is good enough for me, though I read a few years ago guys improved pic with one of the HDfury's

Panasonic plasma is connected to ..Yamaha av receiver RX-V460rds via componant video

Also in the set up is a Topfield 5800 pvr

So the question ,can the Amazon firestick/box.....be connected with this set up ,or do i have to update ..say the Topfield to a smart tv box....no idea on this.
Thanks CJ

If i can find one of these

I know what you mean ,wouldn't buy the hdfury at full price ,though I don't see any being sold used.....I am in no hurry

Some very good points for me to think about......just the thought of throwing a very good screen in the dump .
