	Yup, component tuners will work.  I was thinking of something less 
expensive, though, i.e. something that would only convert channel 3, for
instance--for those who already have some sort of tuner (like a CATV box).

=-I haven't looked into this, but it seems feasible.  Anyone know what kind of 
=-output component tuners produce?  Whatever it is, it must be compatible with
=-at least *one* of the multitude of input options on the new "multifrequency"
