Default Re: Freeview box with a modulator

I'm guessing boxes with a modulator are going to become very scarce, if that's not the case already. The VCR idea is a good one, I'm thinking that if space is an issue it should be easy to remove the RF unit from a scrap VCR and utilise that as a modulator, along with a suitable supply. I was going to do this a few years ago for an old portable set I had in the kitchen but instead opted to throw the set away. If I ever pick up an old set (like the G8 i'm looking for) I may revisit this idea.

I think Maplin used to sell modulators, though at their prices It's probably not worth it.
