 Dear
 Alex,
 
 
 
 I agree with previous suggestions that you use a Freeview
 box.
 
 
 
 There is of course the issue of connecting the TV to the
 Freeview
 
 box. If the TV is really ancient then it only has a aerial
 socket on
 
 the back, so you will have to make sure the Freeview box has
 a
 
 UHF modulator fitted. The Freeview box then appears as a
 new
 
 station (the only one in the whole tuning range!) and the
 channel
 
 change is of course on the Freeview.
 
 
 
 If the TV has a SCART connector, then it's easy. You
 just need to
 
 use a SCART lead to connect to the Freeview box, and again
 you
 
 select channels using the Freeview.
 
 
 
 Some smaller sets had two RCA sockets, one white, one
 yellow.
 
 If that is the case you need a SCART to RCA lead.
 
 
 
 I would not use an up-to-date Freeview box, try and obtain
 an 
 
 old one because the latest boxes may not have SCART or a
 UHF
 
 modulator!
 
 
 
 Next step is to look closely at the front and back of the TV
 for
 
 connectors. As a minimum there will be a TV coax socket
 for
 
 the aerial. Hopefully a SCART or some RCA connectors as
 well.
 
 
 
 Good luck!

 I have a 7inch b&w old portable TV in full working
 order, but of corse is analogue and there is no analogue
 transmissions left in this country, it works well as a radio
 but I would like to get it to pick up atleast some tv,
 anyone know a way
  to do this? I appreciate it's some pretty ancient tech
 nowadays lol
