I have an old tv and want to Connect to my beam gen2 but the tv has nog HDMI ARC and optical connection. The tv only has te coax out possibility. Is there any other option to Connect or is a new tv Needed?

If the coax audio out is a digital spdif audio out, you will be able to use a cheap coax to optical digital audio converter. 
If your tv doesn’t support multichannel audio passthrough (that means audio from devices connected via hdmi to the tv only will passthrough stereo), I would consider buying a new tv or at least using a hdmi switch with audioextractor to optical tislink connection.
