Hard disk recorder
*
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).
