The problem is that the old TV does not have a Scart socket - too old for that. The digi-box does have a conventional TV antenna input and OUTput. So my question is whether anyone knows whether a digi-box will work if I use the OUTput from the TV antenna, or whether this is just a pass-through. In other words, does the digital technology only work with a Scart lead in principle ?

The RF was pass through only.

If it is a satellite receiving digi box ................
You of course need a Satellite aerial
My older SKY box has a tuneable RF out from two sockets.
So you can use it thus Aerial →→→ SKY Box →→→ TV ( to a tuneable RF TV Channel)
It's a Panasonic TU-DSB20, the type with no HDD record facility.
It also has two SCART sockets, for outputs.
Other models of the same era will have the same facilities.

Google is probably your best bet for info.

Quote from: PlusComUK If it is a Freeview / OnDigital digi-box, my older digi boxes only had SCART outputs.

Not necessarily.
We DEFINITELY had a digibox that modulated the chosen digital channel onto an analogue channel and retransmitted it on RF out along with the incoming signals.
You just chose a suitable free one in setup (from 23 to 69 I think) that didn't conflict with existing terrestrial analogue broadcasts, then tune the TV to that channel.
Time to RTFM and/or put the box in setup mode and see what options you have.

Not necessarily; it depends entirely on the digibox. Check the specs/manual/Google for the particular model in question.
