Question Anyone know of a freeview box with proper decoded RF out??

I'm finishing off an integrated system in my house and am wanting to install a single Freeview box that I can then distribute to various rooms (via an RF cable). The problem I'm having is finding a box that outputs the decoded signal through the RF out socket. All the boxes I've seen so far are just a pass-through RF out, which is essentially just what comes in through the antenna.
Does anyone know of a box that outputs through RF ?

Dave

You could always modify a SCART cable and tap the Composite feed off to a standalone RF Modulator from somewhere like CPC and send the RGB to your main TV. Depends what you're like with a soldering iron but it isn't a big job. That way you get to choose your box based on other features and reliability.

Good plan, might even have some cables at home from a previous 'cable box to amp' experiment!
What about this beastie..

Might even do what I want out the box for under a tenner (except it's out of stock!)

http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/freeviewreceivers.html seems to have quite a comprehensive list.

I guess that you want one with an RF Loopthrough with modulator?

Excellent reference site - thanks for that. Looks like I've got a choice of about 5 boxes.
