Hi Netters! I have a question regarding my 10" Panasonic color monitor.
I believe it takes "composit" video signal input (an audio and a video RCA jack).
I currently use it for my Commodore 64 computer, but since I'm selling it (anyone
interested?) and *may* keep the monitor, I was wondering if/how it would be
possible to use this with my cable system at home. I understand that a cable 
box "broadcasts" the selected channel on VHF-3 (or 4). Is there any way to 
"display" the channel on the monitor? I know I should have a tuner, like maybe
a VCR, I was just wondering if I could get away with having no more than
the monitor and cable tuner box.

Justa' wonderin',
Ron
