Tuning in TV to Raspberry Pi output. On a channel, not on HDMI. Impossible?

0

For highly esoteric reasons, in fact almost embarrassing, I would like to connect my Raspberry Pi to a normal "tuner" CHANNEL on my ("standard" five year old) LCD TV.

Of course I realise that this should normally be accomplished with HDMI and setting the TV source to (say) HDMI1 to view the output.

But can anyone suggest a solution whereby I can turn my TV to (say) "channel 5" and have that channel display the Pi's output?

I am prepared for this to be impossible, but wanted to rule out the possibility by consulting the great and the good here.

PS - If you solve it, I will tell you why I want to do it (maybe!). It involves Star Trek.

You need to convert the HDMI signal to an RF TV signal. Only recently (within past year) has an ATSC modulator become available for consumer use. You would probably need a DVB-T modulator. – sawdust – 2017-05-11T19:20:38.007

...this is starting to sound "impossible" on a financial basis! :( Thanks so much for info. Can anyone think out of the box?! :) – mayersdesign – 2017-05-11T19:59:32.923

What on earth is the downvote for? – mayersdesign – 2017-05-12T06:51:42.893

That will only output a standard definition (i.e. not HD quality) video signal. – sawdust – 2017-05-11T19:14:20.187

That's a great idea! Thanks very much :) In this case SD might do the trick, but would love to hear any other suggestions! But wow! That thing's $150! – mayersdesign – 2017-05-11T19:16:07.390
