I've got a stereo, VCR, and non-stereo TV...what I'd like to do is
find a stand-alone Stereo TV decoder.  If anybody out there knows of
a decoder that they could recommend please forward the model/maker
to me in mail.

The "logical" solution would be a decoder that would accept the
signal from my VCR's tuner and pull out the audio so I could forward
it to the stereo while passing the video along to the TV.  I've looked
around and gotten nowhere with this configuration.  Seems that the
decoders on the market expect your TV to have an MPX out on the back
that can feed into the decoder OR (worse yet) actually gets the audio
portion of the signal from the stray RF comming out of the TV itself.

Everybody in the stores agreed that the only thing the decoder really
needed is the video signal tuned to the station I want to watch, but
none of the decoders have anticipated the tuner not being a given
component of the TV (i.e. if you have a seperate tuner you must have
a Sony Profeel or TV with MPX out built in).  <sigh>

Thanks in advance for your recommendations,
