HDMI cable conversion [View all]

Last night one of the two HDMI ports on my three-year-old sharp tv stopped working. I need both one for DirecTV the other for my fire stick. I’m not prepared to replace the TV at this time. So I figure The only other thing to do is to convert the HDMI cable from the dish receiver to either coaxial or RCA component plugs. I just spent the last hour looking on Amazon for a converter or a new cable with both of the connectors I will need. Nothing looks right but I am legally blind so I could be mistaken. Does anyone know of a product that will accomplish what I think I want. Actually, I did find one product but it was described as HDMI to SDI and I think the coaxial for <y tv is RF whatever those terms mean. Thank you for any help given.
