TVonics MFR-200 Freeview Box

Most Freeview boxes only work when connected to a TV using a SCART lead. The TVonics MFR-200 works with TV sets that don’t have a SCART socket.

TVonics MFR-200

The MFR-200, from TVonics, is a tiny Freeview receiver. Most Freeview boxes connect to a TV’s SCART socket, but what if you have an older TV that doesn’t have a SCART socket, or you have a portable telly that you want to get ready for the Digital Switch?

This unit keeps its size down by not having a SCART socket. Instead, it has an RF modulator, that means that you can plug it in to a TV set via the standard aerial cable, then simply tune the TV in to the output of the TVonics Freeview receiver.

The upshot – no need to replace a TV set that doesn’t have a SCART socket, and you can convert any TV to a Freeview receiver to get over 40 channels of digital TV.
