A 1994 television will be a purely analog model and will need a set top box to receive digital broadcasts. While most set top boxes provide video and audio signals there are a few that will also output the same signal on an RF connector. This is the same connector that aerials use to deliver a signal to the television receiver. With an RF signal, the television can be tuned to the right frequency and display the output of the set top box.

Because this is now not a common problem, it is vital that before purchasing a set top box, you ask the question: "Does it output the program content as an RF signal on the RF connector?" Some sales staff will understand the question and answer correctly. Sadly, a few might be tempted to give you the answer you want without knowing.

If a set top box with an RF output proves difficult to get, it may possible to use an old VHS recorder. Even a VHS recorder that won't play tapes will work. Take the video and audio signal from the set top box into the line input or AV input of the video recorder. Select the line input on the recorder and the signal should appear on the RF output of the recorder. Tune the television to the channel that the recorder is on. Its not an elegant solution - but it is a solution.
