Default Freeview boxes TV out

Anybody know of any freeview boxes that have an RF out with the freeview
channels on it . As opposed to a RF Loop through.
My poor old telly (but working very well thank you) does not have a SCART
socket...
Thanks

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.

We sell a lot of them and they're a very nice box. Bit pricey though.

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.

(Can't let you get away with that.)

If you don't mind second hand, there's an old Sagem (61?) that does this or
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.
