Hello guys. I have an LG G pad 8.3 tablet and I want to connect it on a fairly old Tv that doesnt support HDMI to watch live streaming on it.I am not using my Computer since is located far away from Tv and I don't have a laptop at home.

I was thinking of buying a usb to scart cable . Will that be enough ? Is there a way to do it ?

The problem with USB to Scart converts is you need the correct software installed and all the ones I know of are capture devices with scart being the input and usb the output. You would need to find one where the software can be installed on your tablet, no idea if one exists.

Does your TV have any other inputs?

Well, no the only input if I am not mistaken is scart. Ok thank you very much for your help ! :) 

Can you tell me the name of the software you know from scart to usb ? That might help me find a solution to my problem

Is the TV an HD one? If it's not, you will have a pretty bad image even if this will work, which it likely won't.

The USB to anything converters are active converters that are video cards and need drivers installed, which won't work on a tablet. That tablet supports Miracast though, but you need a newer TV or set top box to work with it. http://www.zdnet.com/projecting-your-pc-or-mobile-devic...

Thank you very much. So I guess I will have to buy either a laptop or a newer tv :) 
Most probably the second .

Hey, any excuse for a nicer TV is a good one :) 

Keep in mind if you want to use the tablet, make sure the TV has Micrast capability or can work with a device that can add that to it through a HDMI port.
