My TV has no SCART!

 

There are three options for connecting equipment to a telly that doesn't have a SCART socket:

 

• Look for a set-top box that has a modulated output that connect to a TV's standard aerial socket. Some boxes, including Sky and BT Vision boxes have a modulated output that can connect via an aerial lead. Basic Freeview boxes don't have such an output, but the TVonics MFR-200 does.
  
  
• Connect through a video recorder - these normally have a modulated output, so you can watch via the video recorder's aerial output
  
  
• Get an RF modulator box - these convert SCART outputs to an aerial feed (see below).

 

RF Modulator Box

 

If you've got a Freeview set-top box or a DVD player, and you want to connect it to a TV set that doesn't have a SCART socket, then you can buy something called an RF modulator. This has a SCART socket on it, and converts SCART signals from equipment with a SCART socket, into a signal that can be transmitted through a TV aerial lead. Plug your Freeview box or DVD recorder into one end using a SCART lead, and the other end into your telly using an aerial cable. You then need to tune your telly into the channel that the Modulator box creates.

RF Modulators are available from maplin.co.uk and from tvcables.co.uk
