[net.space] Shuttle Television Receiver Info Request

I'm  interested  in  receiving space shuttle television
broadcasts directly on my TV. I recently heard of a low
frequency receiver attachment you can put on your TV to
receive shuttle  television  transmissions.  Apparently,
this  is  a  $14  device you hook on to your TV antenna
where it connects to the TV. What you see  are  the  TV
broadcasts  shown  on the news - the shuttle broadcasts
television images to  substations  on  earth,  and  the
substations  relay  them  around  the world at very low
frequencies. Does anyone have any information on such a
device  - where can I obtain one, and for how much? Has
anyone used one?
