Sadly, it is not possible to add HDMI ports to televisions that aren't fitted with it. Technically, it is quite straightforward to take an HDMI signal and convert it to a format that can be used with other inputs. However, HDMI is a licensed interface and one that can be encoded for copy protection purposes using HDCP encoding. There is a high cost to obtain a license for using HDMI and HDCP and they require approval from the relevant bodies. Those bodies do not allow products to be licensed that take an HDMI signal and convert it to another format. Allowing the conversion also removes the copy protection - something that HDMI and HDCP are designed to prevent. Hence, there is no properly licensed product that performs the task. There are a few devices that claim to defeat HDCP encoding and convert the signal to other formats. Be aware that because they are unlicensed, there is no guarantee that they will work and HDCP encoding allows rogue decoders to be disabled, so if an unlicensed product works today, that is no guarantee that it will still work tomorrow. Even if you find such a device, don't invest in it. The end result of the copy protection system is that distributing HDMI signals around even a modest sized house is expensive and difficult. To benefit from the commercial high definition content on DVD, Bluray and broadcast media, we all need to have HDMI compatible equipment throughout the signal chain.
