"huge piles of old videos/TV's/game consoles/DVD players"??? - definately not... they will be up for sale on ebay!!! and if you have not already got rid of your old VCR by now....
You also seem to forget that ALL the above DO NOT rely ONLY on a tuner - they have a scart or phono in/out.. and most DVDplayers do not even have a tuner!! Even if your antique TV only has an aerial input, you can buy a scart modulator, or even a freeview box with aerial out.. see more info here...
