The remote-control CATV tuner from Universal does the job just fine, I
know because mine is hooked up this way.  The stereo comes through just fine
on Ch3, broken down from the local cable channels for NBC and PBS.  The
Universal was advertised here for about $80.00 a couple of weeks ago,
and DAK carries it.

MTV is in mono; I have to pick it up via the FM for stereo.
