What would be the purpose of passing the RF signal through the box
if it does absolutely nothing with it?

To pass on the signal to the VCR or TV?

Just plug it in to the VCR or the TV? The STB isn't using it, after
all.

Want to watch one channel (a digital one) and record another; have analogue
VCR (or DVD recorder). Only have one aerial. Both STB (or digital telly) and
recorder need aerial signal.

(I say "analogue VCR" deliberately - there _was_ one digital VCR, with
SetPal firmware; I don't think it remained available for long, though.)
