Firestick with old tv

I apologize if this is in the wrong section. This is what I want to do. I have an extra firestick and would like to connect to an old TV Without composite video ability. It's one of my small tv's that only has a small external antenna jack. I just want to See if I can get it to work but no luck finding anything on the internet, all is for tv's with composite.

I have a few other tv's with composite connections as well.

I guess can I end up getting a firestick to work without composite connections and just an external antenna jack?

Thanks for your help

What kind of converter do I need to watch on the analog if I decide to use cables? The stuff I see on Amazon is analog to hdmi?

Step one is converting the HDMI signal to composite. You need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Composite-Con...d-f486577edf4d

Step two is converting composite to channel 3 or 4. You need an RF modulator or a VCR for this. This would work: https://www.amazon.com/RCA-Compact-R...dDbGljaz10cnVl

Connect it to your TV, tune in the correct channel and you should be all set.
