Yes indeed, as long as it has composite video input. I must say I have never
owned an old TV with such a socket (normally phono). The point I was making
was that most modern LCD TVs have both hdmi (and composite video) and USB
sockets, so only a mouse and keyboard are then needed (powered off the TV via
the Pi). Note the USB socket is a mini one - smaller than the connector on
cameras and the like. Like firewire, there are a plethora of connectors.
