I've not seen the term "pantry transmitter" before now but that would be the way I'd do it.

Fair enough, but back in the day it was of course standard practice to fit additional tuners to TVs so that they could receive the new ITV service. To me, this is not really any different as the rest of the set is retained in its original form, you are just adding a tuner for a 'current' band. |
Indeed, it's non-invasive and it allows a vintage set's use to be expanded and enjoyed. What could possibly be wrong with that?!! Well, a purist's view maybe?
