RF-out on DTT set top boxes
 
After bashing my head against the Argos catalogue and the similarly useless
website, do any current DTT boxes include an RF-modulated output as well as
SCART or has this disappeared from current models?

All Setpal boxes have their own output modulated on the RF output

http://support.setpal.com/

Have a look at the 'Manuals' pages - all boxes, irrespective of brand,
have the same electronics.

The Dawoo is currently 1p under £50 in my local Tesco supermarket
(Southend-on-Sea).

The limitation of the Setpal boxes is that they only have one SCART
socket (with a variety of outputs - some selectable from the menus) and
it doesn't have a 7 day EPG (currently only now/next)

The Ferguson FDT 2000, Thomson DTI 1000 and the Grundig GDT 1500 T, which
are all the same machine have RF-modulated output as well a Scarts.

Apologies if you see this for the second time (ClaraNet appear to be
sending all new posts to a black hole somewhere)

There is also no provision for Top-Up TV

You will probably find the info you want he
http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/freeviewreceivers.html

Best to confirm the features you want on the package box before you buy.

The Humax FOX and 8000T both do.

My post on this thread has gone in that black hole too.
So I don't expect this will be seen either.

I noticed recently other groups where Clara is missing posts that could be
viewed on Google.

Thanks. This doesn't work terribly well at Argos.

But thanks for the URL.

The TUCT-30, which Argos sell, does have RF out.

Have argos stopped selling the Pace Twin? I can't find it listed any
more.
