You probably don't want the second kind either, because that just
converts everything to channel 3, and most monitors do not have an
input for any RF modulated signal including channel 3.  Assuming your
monitor has only video and audio inputs, you want a tuner that
demodulates the TV signal to produce audio and composite video outputs.
