Can I hook up a Blue-Ray player with HDMI to my old solid-state television?
I want a wi-fi Blue-Ray player, but I'm not ready for a new television (I still have the old fashioned kind). The Blue-Ray player says with HDMI and it's a Samsung.. Can I hook it up the old way, with the RGB cable? I don't have cable TV, so that won't be a problem.
No. A couple of years ago, I was looking for a Blu-Ray and was in the same situation you are. Almost all of the new Blu-Ray players only have HDMI output. Several of the more expensive ones have HDMI and the RCA cables (RGB are color palette colors, I think you mean RCA - the red, white and yellow, correct?). I ended up with a Panasonic DMPBDT500 that was about $250. Anything cheaper than that only had HDMI.
