Humax F2 Fox T, you wont regret it. And, if your TV is a recognised
make, the Humax handset will work the TV as well, to save having two
handsets.

I got around this by hooking it up through
a VCR with a SCART and taking the feed off
its RF out. Should be easy enough to find,
car boot sale or whatever. The VCR itself?
A 1986 Freguson bog standard model.
Otherwise, there is a market there, for RF
boxes really isn't there? SCART in->RF out
and all that concerned mumbling, about the
surge of old kit that'll be jettisoned in
2010 evaporates in a puff of £15 gadgetry.
Yes, I think I shall have some words with a
circuit wizard about that...

I'd google for Modulator before you do that :=))
Fraid Maplin etc got there years ahead of you.
Also to the OP, if you decide to go the VCR route, be aware that some
of the last models to roll off the line didn't have modulated RF
outputs either.

Or the Humax PVR-9200T.

a Goodmans referred to on this NG recently (actually the poster needed to
turn OFF the modulator ;-) ). I went with the Sagem for my elderly
neighbours since they needed 2, one with, one without, and it meant I could
get one hard-to-get with modulator and one easier-to-get without but with
them both having the same interface.
Failing that there's the VCR or modulator routes that other posters have
referred to.

If you need to buy something to use with a 'standard' FreeView box surely
an RF modulator is a neater solution than a VCR - unless you actually want
a VCR too? Maplin etc sell them as do the sheds for use with a security
camera.

But they cost more than a freeview box, whereas VCRs can probably be
picked up from skips nowadays.

Their sales sheet says:-
"Scart socket
RF In/Out
Output channel 36, PAL B, G/I (switchable)
Power supply 230V AC 50Hz"
Not sure what the "RF In" bit means (if anything) or if the (switchable) refers
to the output channel as well as the PAL standard...

Well, I would imagine it would be the RF input, think the clue is in
the question. It will be so that the modulated signal can be added to
an existing feed, so 5 terrestrial analogue channels in, 6 out.

I would imagine if it did the channel would say '21-68' or similar
rather than just '36'. The switchable bit appears to be the PAL
region.

Well if the output 'channel' is fixed at '36' then I would give it a wide
berth, where I am the only channel guaranteed to be completely free of some
kind of interference is channels 69.

I was thinking baseband video and audio in (from freeview box) and modulated RF
out - had not considered that it was for /adding/ a channel to an incoming RF
source.

Has your old telly got phono input sockets for audio & video, by any chance?
I've seen some pre-SCART tellies with them, usually accessed via an AV
button. Freeview boxes usually have red & white stereo audio phonos and a
yellow phono outlet for video - not exactly HD quality, but fine for a
pre-SCART telly, and at least as good as a cheap modulator, I think. Just a
thought.

Well I'm on about my third glass of G&T and i've just noticed that in my

Or but a SCART to phono lead as most boxes don't have individual phono
connections on them.

The better ones do.
For all that, why not just get one with a mudulator built in? Although
I think Humaxes are the best, there are quite a few cheaper ones with
modulators. If you can find a Linsar, they have. They have the usual
Vestel menus like so many others. It seems that Vestel use the same
basic format and then include all the required extras (second scart,
modulator etc) to suit the particular brand names' requirements.
Hundreds of different brand names use them.

Let me guess, a "mudulator" is what they use on digital radio to give
it that special sound?

Sorry about the typo, but you are quite right. I'll have to remember
that one!
