Is seems to me that getting a cable ready TV is a fools
bet. No TV company can anticipate the method of encoding or addressing,
is this not so?  Is there a generic modification that is applicable
in all cable method cases and can be done at the factory?  Also, are
there any standards for TV peripheral interfaces/buses?

Also, is the stereo ready TV that needs an "adapter" (ie. stereo ADAPTER
ready TV) a smart buy, or should the extra bucks for a truly
stereo ready TV be shelled out?

I am looking at the Mitsubishi (sp?) 19" TV recommended by Consumer Reports
1985 buying guide, any comments, especially limiting price suggestions?

The big questions are: 

	Cable ready or not cable ready, and if so, what kind?

	Stereo ready or not stereo ready, and if so, what kind?

TIA
