Cheers Igor. Does anyone know if this has an RF Modulator? How can I find out? Does anyone know what the model number is?
If it does I'd pick one up. The TV I need it for has no scart, if it were my TV I'd buy a new one.
Delivery is £5.99
That seems pricey; with postage it's no longer "that" much of a deal.

Is this the "Sagem ITD60"? It looks like it could be, by the colour. The ITD60 looks to be an old model but as it has an RF Modulator then cool.
If so that's an even better price as it has an RF Modulator (as far as I can tell no other Sagem's do) meaning it will work with TV with no Scart + you can send the signal around the house too (of course more useful for Sky).

Think this is the same as the one I already have at home.
It doesnt have an epg (only now and next) but apart from that I really like it. The OSD looks clean and modern and it was very easy to setup.....I think its a good little box overall.
Only problem I have found is that it does have a habit to crash, perhaps once every 10 hours. It just turns itself off and restarts within 20secs though so its not too much of a problem.

The specs page on the BT web site says this has IEC 169-2 connectors as input and output connectors.
That's a normal aerial socket to you and me according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_169-2) ;)

:eek: Every 10-ish hours??.....I think I'd dump that & buy a stable one!

Is it an ID60?

Thanks.
The thing is all Freeview boxes have RF in and out but very few (unlike EX-ITV Digital boxes where it was standard) RF Modulators built in too. The RF Loop-through as it's known is only able to loop through analogue channels, you need a modulator to also send the digital channels too.
Very few websites ever mention if it's just a loop-through or proper modulation.
If you are interested in RF modulatuion to allow you to watch the digital channels on a tv with no scart then there is a potential work around if you have a spare video to donate to the person with a tv that has no scart.
If you have a video that you are going to ditch then hook the freeview box up to its scart, select video av and select the video channel on the tv.
Obvously connect the external signal to the freeview box then take the freeview tv out but put it into the video then take the video tv out and put it into the tv.
I think that should work.

It does thanks.
Except you can't record off analogue while watching Freeview at the same time. It's for a 14/15" 4:3 TV so clearly quality isn't really a concern, hence why I'm even after RF in the first place.
It's not my main TV.
