most effecient choice VCr's for this application present some problems. They take up a lot of room, they need re programming to pick up the channels when the power goes off, and a kid will probably want to stick a peanut butter sandwich into it sometime. A dedicated cable converter can be tucked away out of sight [Link: radioshack.ca]

What good is a Cable tuner going to do for someone trying to decode Terrestial Antenna signals?
A VCR is what you should be using..... Broken tape drive, whatever, chances are the tuner will still work.
Does it Really matter if its stereo? I would doubt it in this case... New vcrs can be found for under $40... $5 at garage sales or ebay...

Well, i'm throwing out a perfetly good VCR because my drunken deadbeat roomate finally moved out and I need to get his crap out. If you want it, it will be sitting on 5th Avenue between 27th and 28th streets NYC from some time between 8PM tonight and 4AM (or whenever sanitation shows up). It is really not worth my time to post an ad for it or wait around for someone that does want to buy it to get ahold of me... or for me to even walk to a post office to ship it. The street corner is as far as I'm willing to go. Even writing this message is taking me away from valuable billable work hours.
There will also be a full set of girls gone wild video tapes, shoes, a pile of con edison electric unpaid electric bills that caused us 4 days of non-powered grief, kenwood speakers, some perfectly good working pens, and a 3/4 full bottle of white out.
If you can't get to NYC, try walking around the streets of where you live and just maybe it will be your lucky night.
Sorry in advance if I sound bitter.
-Tom

Well, I'm assuming that if you want a VCR for less than 50 bucks, your TV probably dosen't have an audio out loop?
