Here's something that might interest those with older TVs with no AV function that are threatened by the switchover;
A Sony Playstation (original grey box one) RFU Adaptor!!! :-worship
All you need is a couple of Phono leads with plugs on one end and sockets on the other and a 5vDC power source, and you can use the adaptor as an RF modulator for anything that uses only AV out, such as cheap freeview boxes...
It's only limited to UHF Channel 36, which was often the one used by VCRs, but after the switchover, I don't think that would matter (as long as there are no MUXes on 36!!!)...
Just need to find myself a 5v source, and I'll try it out...
