    You know the devices that take audio and convert it to a radio signal for your car?

    We need the same thing but for old analog tv signals.

      It exists but you need to have an amateur radio license to do it legally. https://www.hamtv.com/ Long story short, some of the frequencies from analog television are now allocated for amateur radio use, so you can use that with little extra equipment.

      You can find YouTube videos of people doing this for the GG TV Tuner. Usually involves a VCR iirc.

      Plenty of those exist. They were given out like mad when the analog to digital switch was happening. Little boxes that would convert digital TV signals to analog for viewing on old TV’s.

        Digital converter boxes output their signal over cable (coax or HDMI, etc) NOT air. - some old (small) tv devices were antenna only.

        I mean, the old devices could be modified, but you don’t always wanna do that.
