    You could do it a much easier way (like I do). My daughter records the programmes she thinks I might like and puts them onto a USB thumb drive. Works a treat

    On my 1000S I use those RCA outs connected to a RF Modulator which then feeds to my distribution amp and on to any connected TVs. If you get a decent quality modulator and distribution amp the resulting picture/sound is very acceptable and OK for recording. I had the advantage the amp was already in place for Freeview distribution.
    By "sender" do you mean a wireless sender/receiver pair?

    Yes that's the jobby.

    What makes you think they are digital. They either use 2.4 or 5.8Ghz. Good luck with them I find they are very prone to interference and of limited range. A lot depends on the construction of your home. A wired solution is a lot more reliable.

    They're called digisenders so presumed they're digital but maybe not. Use them on the two sky + HD boxes and get no problems, probably because the one pair are only 3 Mtrs apart through a plaster board wall and the other pair are about 4 mtrs apart through two wooden doors, we also live in a bungalow.

    They also call UHF terrestrial aerials digital

    It's complete rubbish an aerial is an analogue device designed to receive an analogue carrier (UHF in the case of UK TV). The carrier may be modulated digitally (DVB-T/T2) or analogue (PAL analogue), the aerial doesn't care. It's the tuners that the aerial is connected to that are digital or analogue.

    Regardless of what they're called or how they perform if you're happy with the result then assuming they can take an analogue output (such as SCART) then you can take the RCA output (if necessary using an adapter) in the same way as presently.

    Ordered the adapter so should know if it works in a few weeks, all the way from China
