Default No RF input on a TV.

Hi all, Id like to pick your brains if pos.
Ive just bought x2 5.5" TVs for next to nothing. £4 in total actual. Which I
thought was a bargain.
My question is regarding an Video input.
These little TVs only have an external UHF input, which would be fine if I
wanted to use a VCR with them, but I dont.
I was hoping to connect to them via a RF/Video input which there aint the
option. :-/
I was wondering is there any part actualy missing in the TV for that option,
or should I be able to tap into a line, around the bottom of the tuner
circuit.?
I've looked inside it and there is the main board at the bottom, then a
second board on its side, which i take to be the tuner board.
These things also have a built in radio, and I think the Tuner board also is
that. Coz I can see the little Antena.
Would there be an input point at the base of the tuner card, where I could
add an input feed.?

Im not bothered if these things get busted due to pocking around inside coz
they only cost a few quid, but it would be nice to be able to use them for
CCTV type things.

Regards
Wombat.
