Connect to another TV?

Hello,
Can anyone help me?
When I had a VM Tivo box, I could watch on another TV, programmes that I had recorded.
A scart lead from the Tivo into a Mercury RF Modulator, then onto my other TV enabled me to watch that particular channel.
Is there anyway I can successfully do this with the Humax FVP-4000T?
I tried the set up with the Tivo and this didn't work.
I've tried all kinds of boosters and newer RF Modulators with no success.
Is there any way this can be achieved? If so, how?
Thanks.
*Please don't mention the H3 as that has been the worst experience had*
Just after a similar set up I originally had

Use the Yellow (CVBS Video out) and Red/White Analog audio to feed the Mercury Modulator (These are the same connections that were used in the scart cable formerly used. The Mercury modulator has seperate connections for these. You just need 3 RCA Phono cables or a AV cable

On the 5000T - FVP Button - Settings - General Settings Video - SD Output - Always On

I take it that worked

By default the SD analogue outputs are turned off when the box is HDMI connected. Fooled me for a short period

Didn't get to do until yesterday, and yes, it works

Thank you Graham for that helpful information on how to change the default of the SD output. It would be nice if it was mentioned in the manual!

As they probably didn't consider that a tiny proportion of users would try to connect the box to two display devices simultaneously, why would they mention it in the manual?

I think the manual should cover all the available settings but with the emphasis placed on the most commonly used ones.
