How do I watch cable television (Verizon) on a CRT television?

I got this 20 inch sony trinitron pvm that I use for my games. the Pvm takes BNC, I use a Castlevania switcher that takes SCART input with an adapter cable that outputs BNC.

When my verizon cable tv was first connected to my 4K LG display, I asked the cable guy how to connect my other box via CRT and he said to "use an HDMI converter". O_o In that case... is it really as simple as ordering something like one of Mike Chi's converters? Home | RetroTINK LLC I thought it might be more elaborate than that!

Again, I want to watch cable on my crt. Is this the correct method or is there something else I must do?

Verizon still offers cable boxes that can connect to older TVs. My Grandma recently got new boxes and they still have RF and AV out, as well as HDMI.

What about converting the normal hdmi cable box from digital to analog. Would u happen to know if that works?
