Connecting TV to Airtel HD stb using vga instead of rca

[Xtremey]

Greetings everyone!!

I have an old samsung LCD TV
It's hdmi port doesn't work anymore, i consulted with a local technician and he says the port doesn't work anymore and he will need to replace the motherboard

I don't wanna do that as it's costly and i won't prefer to install unauthorised parts in it

I am currently using Airtel HD stb with rca cables which work fine except the part the video quality is too low (476i)

It has a vga port im thinking to get a hdmi to vga adapter and use it for video output while retaining rca cables for audio

Will it work done without any issues? Thank you!
