Default Freeview/iPlayer With Modulator

I'm a bit confused. I want to drive my Aurora with a 625 line RF signal to feed my 405 line set.

On the market, I find all sorts of Freeview/iPlayer boxes but none of them seem to have a modulator. So to feed the Aurora, you would have to do:

Freeview/iPlayer Set Top Box => Digital (or perhaps Analogue Composite) Signal To RF Modulator => Aurora.

Three units to chain together. Is that right?

I am asking because presumably, during the analogue to digital switchover, there must have been hundreds of thousands of Freeview boxes sold that had a modulator so that people could continue using their 625-line RF sets. Or did they all connect using SCART or similar?

(But presumably none of them had iPlayer, or any kind of Internet connectivity for that matter, because that was still several years in the future.)
