There are, but I don't think that is the best solution for you. I think you would be better off with a streamer that is composite. Some of the Roku models are composite. I can't speak for all models, but it looks like they FINALLY got an update on the Roku 2 XS which is stable.

I prefer the Roku 2 XS to the newer models because...

1) IR or bluetooth remote -- no problematic wifi direct
2) composite and hdmi -- you can use it with your old tv and take it to a new one
3) usb -- play media off a usb device
4) wired ethernet -- works best if you are near a connection

Here is a link to some top channels streamed by roku fanboys.

if you really want to convert hdmi to composite, a lot of people say this works with the fire tv.
