They may have a smart antenna jack, although that may be compatible with only a particular brand of antenna for the "smart" functions to work. The gov has been pushing for boxes to go to RF feed-through when power is off, but that was not specified in the beginning, so many early boxes do not have it designed in.

Edit: they MAY have S-video in addition to composite output.
That's good news... Thanks for the info!
