"Digital" UHF tuner kit with modulator for UHF out

Jan 03, 2012 6 Replies

For people like me in the UK ,after march 2012, when they switch off all analogue TV transmissions. The following set top boxes,PVR etc apparently have modulated UHF for continued use of an analogue TV , without wasting the SCART input.



I can personally vouch for the Thomson DTI2300, the others are googles. Can anyone add to the list ?

The DS608 - and anything using the Setpal chipset fell by the wayside at an upgrade long before any DSO began.

Topfield TF5800 PVRs do.

That one, at least, may indeed have a modulator, but isn't capable of receiving current Freeview signals. The same'll apply to many older STBs.

If the problem's just that you don't have *enough* SCART inputs, then I'd get a SCART switchbox instead. ;-)

I'll amend the list accordingly and add a few more that google-fossicking produced

Panasonic TU-CT30 Freeview Freeview FV400 freeview TVonics MFR-300 freeview TVonics MDR-250 freeview

Do these boxes also have a digital (HDMI?) output, or just the analog SCART?

Strike off the list, the now recognised dead in the following table.
