What type of connections does the modulator have? To what type of TV are you connecting?

Perhaps he meant "real forum moderator." <-- My mistake. I overlooked a separate RF Modulator because most analog devices already modulate, hence their Channel 3/4 switch.
You'd have to purchase an HDMI converter (aka HDMI-to-RCA, HDMI-to-Component, etc), which should also include the audio cables. You'd then connect the HDMI portion of the converter to the HDMI port on the Mini Box and the 5 component plugs to your TV.
Of course, after your TV finally breaks, the converter would become useless. If you have an A/V receiver with HDMI and component connections, that would do the conversions for you.

A yellow connector is a Composite video signal. The red and white are audio.
As soon as home theater systems started becoming popular, TV manufacturers started adding Component video connections for a better picture...so, along with the red and white audio...there would be a total of, if using RCA connectors, 5 RCA plugs. There are analog sets with a "shared" composite.and component connection, and that would be 3 plugs...but why limit yourself with Composite.
The OP can connect via a coax cable...an HDMI-to-Component converter...or an A/V receiver.
