Tuner: an audio device for converting RF to audio. You connect the
output to your stereo's preamp.

Demodulator: a device for converting RF to baseband video and baseband
audio. Connect the video output to a (composite) video monitor, and the
audio to either a speaker or an amplifier/speaker system. (If it spits
out RGB then it's also a decoder. But is it RY-BY or I-Q?)

Caution: (tongue-in-cheek) advertisement ahead. Hit "n" now to bypass
it. (I hope this control-L stuff works... :-) ) I'll leave off my
signature file to compensate for the space the "ad" takes.  -  keith.

Advertisement: Tektronix sells a demodulator - the IF-to-baseband
mainframe is in the catalog for US$14,900 (system M). Oh, you want
"channels" (RF-to-IF-to-baseband)? They're another US$3,750 EACH. (Or
get the tunable versions: one each for VHF and UHF at US$7,660 per.)
All _real_ Amigans will want, and buy, one TODAY!
