There has been a lot of netnoise concerning "tuners" that can be connected to
the Amiga monitors.  Most of the recommendations that I have seen relate to
RF to RF types of boxes.  These will not work with the Amiga RGB/Composite
Monitor (1080?), as there is no way that these cheap little cable boxes produce
a composite video (or, drool, RGB) output.  The output from the VCR is a
composite video output, no RF involved.  There are RF to composite boxes 
available, but one needs to be careful about getting the right thing.  These
tend to be known as component TV, and are generally not as inexpensive as the
cable converters.
