Underneath my 32" Philips LCD TV (probably early 21st Century - freebie from a relative who upgraded to a larger one with a thinner bezel) I have

Human Freesat PVR about 10 years old. The recording function is rarely used in these days of BBC iPlayer and YouTube.

Newish Sony DVD player

1990s Pioneer receiver-amplifier-cassette recorder. Radio section unused as I get my radio via the Humax. Cassette section non-functional and I haven't felt the need to fix it.

Dangling from the HDMI socket is a Google Chromecast.

Dangling from the headphone socket of the TV is a Cheetah RTFM-T FM transmitter. It feeds my vintage Roberts RCS80 in the kitchen, Grundig set in the shower room and Sony clock radio in the bedroom.

A remote controlled HDMI switch to select between the Humax, Sony and Chromecast and extract the audio to go to the Pioneer.
