Mark,

The Yaroze should work fine with older TV's but you may need an RF
adapter to hook it up. I don't think this adapter comes with the
Yaroze (at least it didn't come with mine) so you may have to purcahse
it seperately. It should just be a matter of plugging it in and
turning it on.

Mario

PS

You can tell if you have the RF adapter cable by looking at the
connector on the Yaroze end. There's a switch that selects the
channel.
