If your television does not have any video and audio input, you will need to use the radio frequency output from the digital receiver.

In this case, you will need to connect a ca- ble from the RF OUT socket to the antenna connector on your television. To ensure your television can also pick up existing analogue channels as well, you will need to connect a cable from your television antenna to the RF IN connector.

Tune your television set to channel 36 (or rarely 43) so that you can see the output from the digital receiver.
