the only TV at the workshop is a Casio pocket TV (no scart connector -

Will a typical VCR present a UHF signal out from scart in???

Yes.


It depends, if the box output can be set as composite video (CBVS) then
yes. However, some Freeview boxes etc. output RGB which will not be
convertible by a VCR. I think you can get a modulator, or make one.

I've looked into making one myself, basically you would need a modulator
(one from an old VCR or SKY analogue box would do) a power supply for
the modulator (some are 5v, some are 12v, not much current so a basic
power supply or battery would probably do) and an IC (can't remember the
number but I can find out if you like, along with details of construction)

Failing that an old Commodore Amiga plug in modulator unit or similar
will do the job, you will have to input the sound seperately but they do
the RGB to CBVS conversion and modulate sound through an external
connection, if you don't have one I'm sure you could get one cheap on
Ebay. The IC in these could be used as part of building your own unit.
