And, if your TV is a recognised make, the Humax handset will work the TV as well, to save having two handsets. |

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?

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. |

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. Paul DS. |

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. -- *Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
