You’re unlikely to get a HDMI in to analogue RF out modulator which is what you’d need if you want just one ‘box’ - the £100+ units are likely to be HDMI in to digital (DVB-T) RF out for use with current (Freeview etc) TVs which, I suspect is not what you require

Upshot is I think you’re stuck with using 2 boxes, the one you have + an analogue RF modulator as suggested in the previous post #11 or similar - just one word of warning - do’nt expect spectacular picture quality, after all you are converting from HD to SD which incurs an intrinsic loss of resolution followed by modulation using a domestic RF modulator which has been made ‘down to a price’ (professional ones cost £100s) - not wanting to put you off, just to manage expectations

Hope this helps
