(Please note, this is x-posted) Hi Netters! I have a question regarding my 10" Panasonic color monitor. I believe it takes "composit" video signal input (an audio and a video RCA jack). I currently use it for my Commodore 64 computer, but since I'm selling it (anyone interested?) and *may* keep the monitor, I was wondering if/how it would be possible to use this with my cable system at home. I understand that a cable box "broadcasts" the selected channel on VHF-3 (or 4). Is there any way to "display" the channel on the monitor? I know I should have a tuner, like maybe a VCR, I was just wondering if I could get away with having no more than the monitor and cable tuner box. Justa' wonderin', Ron

If you don't have a vcr to spare, Magnavox used to sell a little cheap tuner.
