I would suggest you check with misc.consumers for the solution to this problem. Just ask about better TV antennas. As for buying a tuner, I'd suggest you just get another VCR... the price will not be too far off for a play-only version, and you can use the two boxes to edit tapes. > since this monitor is 'stereo' does that mean that I'll get TV channels in > stereo as well? Only if you have stereo output on your VCR. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' . 'U` "Have you hugged your wolf today?"
