Can I connect a sky stream puck to an old tv via a usb to hdmi connector?

I have recently bought a spare sky stream puck which I am trying to connect to an old TV using an hdmi to usb connector as there is only a usb port on the back of the TV. This does not seem to be working unfortunately. Has anyone else tried/managed to do this?

@Skypucknovice  It's unlikely to work as the USB port on the TV won't be video capable.

 

What other inputs are there on the TV?  Scart?  You may need a HDMI to scart converter (note everything will be SD only)  which may or may not work.

@GD1 I have AV ports so I could try an hdmi connector with them. Thanks for the advice.
