Now I don't have a TV nor a VCR, so I started looking around for a separate TV-TUNER. (I saw them in europe, remote, teletext etc) but I need an NTSC-Tuner that gives off a COMPOSITE signal plus audio. Now Radio Shack has something for $99, but it still gives RF, channel 3&4 (also something for $29 --> very interesting) Also EastCoastSoftware in Hershey Pa has the tuner, giving composite, for $89. But the question is: Does anyone know of any cheaper tuners! or a simple device that can make composite from RF, that works together with the $29 apparatus? I don't need remote,timers, sleepers, digital channel display, 70 programmable channels etc. Please send any answers directly to me, I will post a summary.

I don't need remote,timers, sleepers, digital channel display, I don't know any cheap new tuner, you got about the right price (90 - 100$). How about a cheap VCR , or even a broken VCR , which the tuner works. I have a question : is it available/expensive to convert a composite NTSC to Amiga standard RGB analog signal?
