Probably not directly, you may be able to get a tv modulator to get a picture on the tv, try keene they sell loads of adapter type stuff: Keene Retail Ltd, Electronics making AV happen, Products and accessories for video, photography, home cinema and AV

Think they all have RF modulators so will work on any TV... just plug it in and switch to ANALOGUE TV...then add a channel.
If you just autotune, you will pick up this and wipe all other channels. So you will have to autotune again when you put the aerial back in.

Go on manual tune, enter C36 and fine tune from there.

Oh, and if you haven't got the original RF cable, you need a phono plug to aerial plug cable

Don't forget a cassett player for the zx and the patiance of a saint to get the volume right for the games to load. ahh the memories of sitting waiting for the game to load only for screen to go blank, and have to start again.

The oric would probably make a pound or two more on ebay than the others there seems to be a retro scene starting
