Hi,
I've been investigating getting something similar myself so I can convert things on Youtube into proper analogue video. As far as I can tell, they just convert an HDMI input into composite video (yellow phono socket) and audio. I've not seen any with modulators built in- after all, why would they? No-one has needed to feed signals into the aerial socket of a TV for 30 years! Apart from us lot of course!!

A modulator turns composite video and audio into a signal that can be fed into the aerial socket.

What device have you got and what output sockets does it have on it?

Cheers
Nick
