*
RF loopthrough - Your main TV aerial connects into set-top box,
and the box has an aerial output socket that can be used to feed a TV
or video recorder regardless of whether the Freeview box is on or off.
For a fuller explanation, see our Glossary
* RF modulator - Modulated output indicates that a box can 're-broadcast'
the output onto a new TV channel, so that your TV or video can 'tune in'
to the Freeview signal (this is especially useful for TV and video equipment
that don't have SCART sockets). For a fuller explanation, see our Glossary
