Freeview box - sky box - analogue sat box - video recorder - dvd recorder - television.

Although you`d be nuts to use the RF path for recording. SCARTS and switching boxes if you want half-decent quality.

Found this problem myself with my own Freeview box, and I can only think the box doesn`t actually send out an RF signal at all, it just boosts and loops-through the aerial signal. :(

Correct, most Freeview boxes do NOT incorporate an RF modulator.
(What do you expect for 30 quid or less ?)
One common solution to that is to connect a Freeview box to a VCR SCART as most VCRs do contain an RF modulator.
