    Magnavox has just the beast that you are looking for.  It is exactly like
a VCR tuner.  It has 12 buttons, each of which can be tuned to either a vhf or
a uhf station.  I think the unit runs for around $50 - $60's at Service 
Merchandise, however, I got mine straight from Magnavox.  Unfortunately the
only other place that I have seen a stand alone tuner was in an ad from CARDCO
which also promised a remote control version.  I think CARDCO's tuners were a
little more expensive and might have given you more than 12 stations, but I
was able to see the Magnavox tuner in action and was pleased.  I hope that this
helped you.   Happy Motering ?
