You will need a streaming device that supports the cables. Roku use to have a device. Not sure now. Does your TV have any HDMI ports at all?

What model Sony Trinitron?

You should be able to get an adapter that will convert the streaming box's HDMI OUT to a compatible audio/video input for your TV.

Hi @cmaffie123, thanks for reaching out.

 

In order to set up DIRECTV STREAM on your Sony Trinitron TV you will need a compatible device.

 

Please make sure you have an adapter that will convert the streaming device HDMI port to a compatible video/audio input for the model of your TV. 

 

Thanks for your helpful insight, @litzdog911
